First of all you cant have a gas minigun, electric would be your most sensible option, so thats the weight of a generator on a soldier jus tto power the thing. Second, th esoldier would need a heavy kevlar vest and protective mask jus to protect himself from the incredible ejection speed of the shells. Which leads to another thing, a gattling gun on a Huey would shake the helicopter ever-so-slightly, a real one would put a man on his ass after a second. But lets say you magically solve this recoil and shell ejection problem. Lets look at the overall weight. The "backpack" ammo capacity, also, could be worth only several seconds of fire. lets calculate: 2 000 rounds of 5.56mm ammo will weight about 25 kg (55 lbs); 2 000 rounds of 7.62mm will weight about 2 times more, making such load almost impossible to carry on foots. yet this load of ammo will worth only 20 or so seconds of fire. Add some powerful batteries to power electrical drive of about 4KWt (4+ horse-power), and the bulk of the gun itself, and you'll see that even the strongest man won't be able to carry this load, less to fire it with any chance to hit, due to extremely powerful recoil. You wanna talk guns you just tell me anytime.

Minor correction:

First of all you cant have a gas minigun

Actually most (large) miniguns are hydraulically or pneumatically driven.
