The guns had to be for show only. There's no way you'd want something like that at home, since it would significantly reduce the usable play area, and destroy your walls when you smash the barrel into them.

Something like this where the barrels are virtual, but the handle of the gun is real and gives feedback, would be much more useful.

Yeah, this is a bit pointless. It's the same experience as just playing with two ten-pound weights strapped to your wrists. You can't see the difference.

You don't hold the weight of minigun with your hands, it uses strap system attached to your body for balancing the weight. Hands are used to maintain stability and aim.

Probably least interesting gun to simulate in VR.

What's stopping you?
There are demos for Oculus, Vive and PSVR in many stores now.
Do you not have access to even one of those?

In UK? Not so much. Closest for me requires 150 miles round trip.

The Rift just his store shelves in the UK.
Shouldn't be too long before you see more demos, though, if you live in a rural area you may have problems.

Haven't realized Rift demos already available in UK. https://live.oculus.com one actually reasonably close to where I live.
http://locator.htcvive.com/ Vive demo also got closer , now only 90 miles round trip.
Thanks!
