When I'm on my A-game, I can hold down the trigger and land all my shots. You can drop a hulk in half a second that way. But sometimes I can't hit very well, and have to burst shots (but it still kills quick). If you crouch you'll have a lot better recoil control too. The Plasma Punisher is so much better than the Purifier. Think the Purifier could do double damage or double fire rate and still be just ok. 1:53 - I dove from a bunch of troopers and got stuck under a heavy devastator. Then I got a bunch of troopers on my head too and they all curbstomped me :/ 2:40 I'm assuming you know this, but you can melt a Factory Strider with the HMG in about a clip from the underside if you shoot the belly. Put it on the highest ROF and unload on it. 3:25 You can also shoot its eye with the HMGE or HMG (or LAS98, any medium pen) and kill it. That's actually what I did to bring it down - took out other minigun and then shot its face.
if you're talking about the hmg i almost always use the highest rpm (750) out of preference and to take out devastators and berserkers more quickly so i struggle going full-auto to hit a hulk's visor in one trigger pull, i exclusively use stun grenades vs bots anyway and are mainly reserved for hulks, so i have ample time to tap their visors in, and i'm not always on my A-game so I will try to always use loadouts i find strong to pick up the slack... i find hulks not as threatening vs heavy and rocket devastators though, because i have stuns. Yes I almost always crouch when firing the hmg for the recoil control, and prone for longer ranges... 2:40 yes i know about their eye and belly weakpoints (didn't have a good angle to go for them here), but i always go for their gatling guns first, once they're down a factory strider drops down on my priority list of targets significantly as they're pretty much a non-threat at close range.
