# MINIGUN REPLACE SLOTS · combined summary list v1 (MINIGUN, 28 Oct) · for the coordinator's OK

## Scope and rules
- **The slots:** 15 in all.
  - 10 that the user rated REPLACE or marked map/pre-placed.
  - 5 from replace58: brrrt, red-hot, the-gap, the-hose, plus mid-matchwood.
- **Each slot keeps its key and rarity**, and gets a NEW kill.
- **Every kill is MAP-INDEPENDENT:** `needs` = FLOOR + space only. Every prop is a gold cast or the fighters' own weapon. It must pass mapCheck on all 17 dry maps (The Deep may skip).
- **No faces, no costumes.**
- **Gore goes through K58.STYLE:**
  - limb-off + spray, round caps, headPop, explode, soul rise;
  - the six-level ladder, with the XT first;
  - endings varied per ANTI-TEMPLATE.
- **Movement:** THE X (anticipation → snap → hold), two hands always accounted for, props land and stay.
- **Camera:** wide (zoom floor 320; punches ≤ 0.5 s).
- **Uniqueness:** each core was grep-checked against the ledger. The near ingredients are named in each entry.

## THE 15 KILLS

### 1. minigun.brrrt · LEGENDARY → "HOMECOMING" · DUEL (ranged) / turnabout · ~18 s
- **Who:** Nitha with an RPG.
- **CORE:** a rocket that comes home.
- **The fight:**
  - It opens as a rocket duel across the floor. The minigun works as a close-in weapon system: each rocket is shredded in mid-air between them, and the explosions ripple closer every time.
  - She fires two at once, one high and one low. Faris drops to a knee and takes both.
  - Her last rocket: Faris shoots off only its tail fins. It tumbles, then corkscrews round in a loop and comes back at her. Unstable rockets really do this.
  - She throws the launcher and runs. It chases her and hits her in the back.
- **Hands:**
  - Nitha: the launcher on her shoulder; her free hand loads each rocket from a back-sling.
  - Faris: both hands on the gun throughout.
- **Ending:** the old-game FULL EXPLODE (STYLE.explode: limbs flying, the head pop, the radial Pop). Faris walks through the drifting smoke.
- **Unique:** no kill has a projectile that turns round and homes on its owner. "Shot out of the air" (rpg.mid-shot-down) is only an ingredient here.

### 2. minigun.hold-still · COMMON → "BENT" · DUEL · ~11 s
- **Who:** Chotu with a sledgehammer.
- **CORE:** a bent barrel shoots round corners.
- **The fight:**
  - Chotu fights the gun with weight: he parries the cluster aside with the haft, ducks a burst, and lands an overhead blow that bends the barrel cluster down across the shroud.
  - He grins behind the hammer head, which he holds up like a shield.
  - Faris fires anyway. The bent barrels throw the stream in a hooked fan that curls round the hammer head and takes his arm off at the shoulder from the side.
- **Hands:**
  - Chotu: two hands on the hammer; one hand after the arm goes.
  - Faris: both hands on the gun.
- **Ending:** the hammer drops, his guard is gone, and the head pops.
- **Unique:** the bent barrel's curved stream (0 ledger hits).

### 3. minigun.locked · RARE → "CARAPACE" · SIEGE · ~19 s
- This is my approved minigun SIEGE (doc `cine_the-trick_choreo.md`), moved here because the-trick now goes to N1 as a fix.
- **The layers:** a sandbag barricade, a cast tripod mount, a pavise, then carapace plates on his body.
- Pass 2 is already built in my work copy. Pass 3 and the pack remain.

### 4. minigun.mid-matchwood · RARE MID → "SKIP" · ≤ 3 s · (v2, 28 Oct: SPIN TURN collided with C's SMG THE TURN)
- **Who:** Hiba, sprinting in with a knife.
- **CORE:** she ducks under the stream, and it skips up off the floor into her. This is real skip-fire.
- **The beats:**
  - At the spin-up she drops low into a crouch to go under the stream.
  - Faris dips the muzzle to the floor a stride ahead of her.
  - The slow-mo punch: the rounds strike the floor, spark, and skip up in low arcs into her crouch.
- **Ending, by gore level:**
  - XT: the skips tear up her front into the head pop.
  - VH / H: the head pop.
  - M: a leg off with spurts; she falls dead.
  - L: spurts in her legs; she drops (no head pop).
  - VL: the skips spark round her and she scrambles away, dazed.
- **Unique:** skip-fire (0 ledger hits).

### 5. minigun.quiet · EPIC → "BETWEEN ROUNDS" · BULLET TIME · ~16 s
- **Who:** Mikku, an unarmed acrobat. No blade, so not IAI's bullet-cutting.
- **CORE:** he threads the gaps between rounds, until Faris doubles the rate.
- **The fight:**
  - In extended smooth slow-mo the stream reads as a dotted line of rounds. He weaves through the gaps step by step. Real-time cuts show how impossible that is.
  - He gets within a metre.
  - Faris thumbs the rate up: the motor screams, the dots close into a solid line, and he is mid-gap.
- **Ending:** the closing gaps take him piece by piece: the leading arm at the elbow, the knee, then the head. At XT it is the full explode in slow-mo. Real time snaps back as the pieces settle.
- **Unique:** gap-threading plus the doubled rate (0 hits). This is not the SMG BULLET TIMEs (NO VACANCY, the brass storm).

### 6. minigun.red-hot · LEGENDARY → "RED HOT" · STANDOFF · ~18 s
- **Who:** Amjad with a revolver.
- **CORE:** the gun has to cool before it can fire.
- **The beats:**
  - After a long burst, Faris's barrels glow white and lock out. The motor clicks and won't turn.
  - Amjad, who has been pinned, stands up and walks toward Faris, taking his time and reloading as he comes.
  - Stillness. The glow fades white → orange → red → dull. Steam lifts. He stops at arm's length and raises the revolver to Faris's head.
  - The barrels tick down to grey. The motor catches.
- **Ending:** a point-blank head pop. The headless body stands for a beat, sways, then folds.
- **Unique:** an overheat lockout as the clock. COLD START's belt that changes temperature is a different core.

### 7. minigun.skin-camo · EPIC skin → "SPOKES" · DISARM · ~14 s
- **Who:** Fayiz, a soldier with a bayonet on his rifle (the military camo theme).
- **CORE:** a stick in the spokes becomes a rotor blade.
- **The fight:**
  - Out of rounds, Fayiz charges and rams the bayonet into the spinning barrel cluster to jam it. The cluster stops, the motor groans, sparks fly.
  - Then the motor wins: the cluster wrenches the rifle out of his hands and whirls it round like a propeller.
- **Ending:** his own bayonet comes round as a rotor blade and takes the arm at the elbow, then his head clean off (a severed head with a round cap, not a pop). Faris shakes the rifle free.
- **Unique:** a weapon jammed into the cluster turned rotor (0 hits). THE SCARF winds a scarf onto the barrels; this is a different mechanic.

### 8. minigun.skin-classic · COMMON skin → "THE LONG WALK" · LONG TAKE · ~13 s
- **Who:** Fida with a pump shotgun.
- **CORE:** one unbroken shot, and Faris never stops walking.
- **The fight:**
  - She tries everything in sequence: blasts, a gold barrier, a thrown shotgun, a last charge.
  - Each one is answered without breaking stride. The camera orbits in one oner.
  - She ends on her knees out of shells.
- **Ending:** the walk stops at her, and the head pops. Then the camera completes its circle.
- **Unique:** the classic skin as the classic unstoppable walk. THREE MAGS is a LONG TAKE for SMG; this story is different.

### 9. minigun.skin-neon · LEGENDARY skin → "THE GRID" · DEATH REALM · ~20 s
- **Who:** Hiba, a racer.
- **CORE:** a light-trail duel in a synthwave realm.
- **The realm:**
  - **Crossing:** the neon barrels spin up and the arena drops away into a neon grid with a horizon sun.
  - **Inside:** her sprint leaves a solid light-trail wall behind her (the light-cycle idea). She runs rings to box Faris in. The stream cuts her walls.
  - **Return:** she runs into her own last wall.
- **Ending:** in the real arena she bursts in the old-game explode, with neon sparks in the blood. The realm is registered in 58k_REALMS.md.
- **Unique:** light-trail walls (0 hits). CLOSED CIRCUIT's neon tube ceiling is a different idea.

### 10. minigun.tatters · COMMON → "CRY WOLF" · STANDOFF (nerve) · ~11 s · (v2, 28 Oct: THE RIBBON collided with minigun HEADS UP)
- **Who:** Chotu, with a pistol and gold casts.
- **CORE:** he stops believing the warning.
- **The beats:**
  - He has learned the minigun's tell: every spin-up whine, he dives behind a gold low wall that he casts with his free palm.
  - Faris spins the barrels with the trigger off, three times. Each time Chotu dives, each dive sloppier, and he gets more tired and angrier.
  - On the fourth whine he ignores it and charges, firing. That one is real.
- **Ending, by gore level, all at the same beat:**
  - XT: a leg, then the head pop mid-stride.
  - VH / H: the head pop.
  - M: an arm off; he skids down dead.
  - L: spurts across his chest as he drops.
  - VL: rounds chew the floor at his feet; he trips and lies out cold.
- **Unique:** a dry-spin bluff (0 hits on bluff / cry wolf).

### 11. minigun.the-cone · COMMON → "PLAYING DEAD" · AMBUSH · ~12 s
- **Who:** Amjad with a knife.
- **CORE:** he plays dead, and the heavy gun can't turn in time.
- **The beats:**
  - Amjad lies "dead" in a pool. Faris walks past.
  - He springs at Faris's back.
  - Faris can't turn the gun, so he swings its whole weight in a 360° hammer-throw spin. The cluster clubs Amjad out of the air, and as the spin completes the barrels are on him.
- **Ending:** both legs, then the head.
- **Unique:** the weight-spin club. THE CAROUSEL is a scythe ride, a different move.

### 12. minigun.the-gap · RARE → "NOT DOWN YET" · LAST STAND · ~15 s
- This is my approved minigun LAST STAND (doc `cine_wont-start_choreo.md`, no crutch), moved here from wont-start, which now goes to N1 as a fix.
- She keeps fighting, losing pieces. The casts are her low wall and Faris's shackle.

### 13. minigun.the-hose · COMMON → "THE COUNTER" · DUEL · ~11 s
- **Who:** Mikku, a boxer.
- **CORE:** boxing logic against a minigun.
- **The fight:**
  - He reads the cluster's turn like a jab and slips each burst left and right as he walks in, with real head movement and footwork.
  - Faris throws a feint burst (the jab) and holds the real one (the cross).
  - Mikku slips straight into the cross.
- **Ending:** a head pop mid-slip. The body finishes the slip and drops.
- **Unique:** the feint-and-counter (0 minigun hits). THE HOSE's old lean-into-the-stream idea is dropped: laser HEADWIND owns it.

### 14. minigun.the-press · EPIC → "THE LEAD" · CHASE · ~16 s
- **Who:** Fida, a runner.
- **CORE:** he stops chasing and fires where she'll be.
- **The chase:**
  - She circles Faris faster than the heavy gun can traverse, vaulting gold low walls (no springboards), always a step ahead of the stream.
  - Faris stops traversing and leads her. She sees the stream land ahead of her and skids. She reverses, and he anticipates again.
  - Last, she hurdles the stream line, and the stream lifts.
- **Ending:**
  - Both shins go in mid-hurdle.
  - She lands on the stumps.
  - Then the head pops.
- **Unique:** leading the target. ALL AT ONCE (3 rushers betting on the traverse) is a different core.

### 15. minigun.window-dressing · LEGENDARY → "SIX" · DUEL · ~19 s
- **Who:** Nitha, an akimbo pistol gun-fu fighter at THE X bar: slides, flips, cartwheels.
- **CORE:** the motor's dead, so he spins it by hand.
- **The fight:**
  - She outmoves the traverse and shoots the gun's power feed. The cluster coasts to a stop. She walks in, reloading both pistols.
  - Faris slaps the barrel cluster round like a roulette wheel. Each slap fires one barrel. Six slaps, six shots.
- **Ending:** the six shots take her piece by piece:
  - each hand;
  - each knee;
  - the chest (spurts);
  - the head (pop).
- **Unique:** a hand-cranked minigun (0 hits on crank/motor in this sense).
