Lead Belcher is a weapon that appears in Fallout Shelter.
Background[]
A Rockwell CZ53 Personal Minigun is capable of firing 5mm rounds at over 60,000 RPM[1] with an ammunition capacity dependent on the type of feed mechanism (120 round belt[2] and 240 box with accompanying extra backpack[3]). The CZ53 personal minigun makes up for the small 5mm round by sending a hail of bullets toward its target. Its sheer size, coupled with its trademark sound, is enough to send anyone in its path running for cover. It is a great weapon for suppressing fire, letting others flank the unsuspecting enemy.[4][5]
When the Great War struck, it was already an aging design and was slowly being replaced by the more advanced CZ57 Avenger minigun.[6] The minigun was the favorite weapon of the Mariposa super mutants during the Unity's time, with super mutants able to wield them effectively with only one arm.[7]
Characteristics[]
The Lead Belcher is a unique belt fed Gatling-style machine gun with six rotating barrels featured in Fallout Shelter. Dealing 19 minimum damage per attack, it has the second lowest damage output for a heavy weapon in the game.
