As a member of the commando team in Predator, Jesse Ventura humps a 7.62 caliber minigun around the jungle. Besides the problem of hauling enough ammunition to feed a gun that shoots 166 rounds a second, and the difficulty/impossibility of controlling such a gun by hand, there is also the issue of the king of all hot feet you would get from the cascade of smoking empties. Finally, it takes two truck batteries to run the thing. The filmmakers ran a cable under the actor’s pants leg to off-camera batteries to power the minigun motor.

Almost recoil free, seemingly unlimited ammo, must be fairly light weight, accurate enough, what more could you want? What a joke...believable for those who don't know better.
