Why not a Vindicator Minigun? Ok recoil compensation, nice ap and its a minigun. Hell in this edition it even accepts barrel mounts and has a Smartlink to boot. And it's a minigun.

The Availability.  Otherwise, totally.  Also, pretty sure the recoil compensation is -2, not a good thing.

Compared to other guns in RG which get -6RC for a tripod, I presume this -2RC of the minigun is actually the regular advantageous version.

I see what the problem is; in the Core rulebook, Recoil Compensation is positive.  In Run & Gun (for machine guns only, it seems), it's negative.  Another legacy of the poor editing, I suppose.

R and G errata fixed that actually on all goofy RC values.

Page 1 of the Run & Gun Errata:
GENERAL, RECOIL COMPENSATION CORRECTIONS
Minus symbols should be removed from Recoil Compensation listings for all weapons that have them, including the following: Auto-Assault 16, Franchi Spas-24, GE Vindicator Mini-Gun, SA Nemesis, FN Mag-5, Ultimax MMG, Ruhrmetall SF-20, Ultimax HMG-2

I do wish the Ares HVAR and GE Vindicator Mini-gun had specific high velocity rules; as is, there are better options mechanically that make these weapons flavourful more than anything.

The 200-round belt for the Vindicator is nice for a metahuman carrying it, but matters little when the weapon is mounted. Furthermore, that the Vindicator requires spinning up is a slight drawback as I see it. It is less costly than the superior Ruhrmetall SF-20, however.
