I think we're having a communications breakdown, but in hindsight, this could work better, with the barrel assembly detaching (tone the backpack down, and you could fit the main body in between the ammo stacks. As for why having the barrel assembly be separate might be better, this way you're not jostling the mechanisms as much.

The current M-134 fixed a lot of the reliability issues with the minigun design, but this would still help avoid jams, which are a fact of life for firearms. It's just questions of when and how often, not if.
