OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Reasonable weapons like chainguns have multiple barrels to spin, keeping barrels from overheating, but Big Bigby is not a reasonable weapon. Big Bigby's barrels motionlessly spew out five simultaneous streams, each equivalent to a really heavy blaster rifle. Big Bigby doesn't care about looking pretty or being reproducible by factories and sane engineers or 'being safe to operate', because Big Bigby is too busy being awesome.
How Big Bigby was made is a mystery, which is perhaps for the best - one of these monstrosities is more than enough.

- Big Bigby is powered by an 'Ultracore' able to provide a near-limitless stream of volatile energy. It is somewhat unclear how it works or what is inside it, but it is known to produce a lot of radiation and a variable amount of ionic interference - cyborgs often get headaches when near it.
- Most Dakka: Big Bigdy is capable of unleashing egregiously many individually potent blaster bolts from its five barrels and technically never has to stop firing on account of its literally infinite ammunition capacity. Even beskar has been known to melt under its withering barrage.
- Safety Last: Radiation poisoning, ionic interference, and overheating (Big Bigby is fine, your hand is not) are but some of its health risks.
- Accuracy?: Big Bigby can hit the broad side of a barn, but it can't not hit it. Friendly fire is to be expected when wielding this monstrosity.
