Max Minigunner costs over 18,000$ but max Cowboy only costs 14,000$. Mini max DPS is only 40 while max Cowboy DPS is 50. Cowboy also has ability and base placement is cheaper. Overall Cowboy is better.
Before the mega update, cowboy was better than mini gunner. However, mini gunner has better range, and has base dps better than cowboy. Cowboy early game is ok, but is terrible at handling speedy/quick due to slow fire rate, while mini gunner costs you some health but is great at shredding early game zombies when placed.
I would say Cowboy is lousy at low level while Minigunner is far better at early game, in terms of DPS, TDI, and cost effectiveness. But at late game and when both towers are at level 5, Cowboy is better at all 3 metrics. This is true for Cowboy vs Minigunner, and Golden Cowboy vs Golden Minigunner.
If you have mamny cowboys you activate all abilities so long finale boss run from cowboys range so minigunner is better (without bug)
Edit: Also golden minigunner is cheaper and better than golden cowboy and minigunner has more range and more useful in early and end game

When I talk about the cost of a tower, I talk about the "total cost" rather than just the upgrade cost. The total cost of a level 5 Minigunner is $18,775 and that of level 5 Cowboy is $14,625. I don't see the usefulness of upgrade cost (e.g. $8,500 for upgrading Minigunner from level 4 to 5) when talking about cost effectiveness.
The issue of big bosses passing thru' a herd of Cowboys could also happen on Minigunners. A zombie survives 10 level 5 Cowboys WILL also survive 10 level 5 Minigunners. Yes, Minigunner has greater range, but it has lower DPS. The total damage a Minigunner could inflict on the zombie is in fact less than a Cowboy (not to say that Cowboy has special ability at level 5).
Cowboy can do more dps, but you have to micro the ability for every cowboy.
Agree. For me, it is a headache to micro manage more than 8 towers (Enforcer, Cowboy, John, and so forth) even on a mouse and keyboard setup. Seems it is not an issue specific to me.
Speaking with exact numbers after personally measuring firerate under the firerate bug, Minigunner has 44 DPS, and Cowboy has 45 DPS, not including the ability.
Assuming your micro on cowboy is flawless, it would do 51.66 DPS average.

OMG!!!
When I got the COWBOY WITH A MINIGUNER, I though the MINIGUNER is much better!
