Many weapons have had their names generalised. 'Assault rifle' was originally a name for the Sturmgewehr 44 (though other weapons prior to that had similar names and somewhat similar roles) but that term came to characterise the modern conception of assault rifles, following the Sturmgewehr's characteristics, design and role. Minigun will probably end up being used to describe weapons similar but not identical to the M134.

And to be honest, the diameter of the barrels of Coco's gun make it look more like a rotary cannon (since they look to be at least 20mm) rather than a minigun, which would use machinegun calibre (such as 7.62mm).
