You lost me…The sketch for the gun form has an extra handle for the left hand to deal with recoil, and it it also comes equipped with an ammo backpack…what more can you want?

Extra handles will NOT negate recoil... And how are you supposed to be maneuverable with that thing if there's an ammo belt attached? If the ammo belt is detachable, it'd be quite the hassle attaching/detaching frequently, because unlike a magazine, ammo belts are long and heavy (especially that of a minigun), so regardless of being detachable or not, a minigun/lance combo will be quite unwieldy. Also, what will be the power source for the drill and minigun? Batteries are REALLY heavy. With the combined weight of everything, I'd expect the wielder to be quite slow... Lances are also meant for mounted combat, not for infantry. Being mounted could negate many of these issues here, but would be significantly less useful due to the reduction of situations where it can be used.
