Jinx's Mini-gun should be automatic, not burst.

It's a MINI-GUN. It should be full auto.

Attack Speed could affect by determining the speed at which it spins and therefor actually fires bullets, but it should be constantly going not fired in little bursts.

I understand she was made burst fire to use the same attack coding as the champions who don't have fully automatic guns, but I can't imagine it would be hard to make her different. Blizzard already did it with Tracer in HoTS.

If it was needed for balance you could also give her an ammo and reload system; but in any case it probably wouldn't be needed because the individual bullets would have really low damage, to balance out the sheer number of them.

She's be like the opposite of Jhin as far as basic attacks go.

I think that Jhin's mini is too much a part of his identity to change so completely. I mean, it has 4 shots, right?

But I do like your mini-gun, spraying idea. Maybe a new champion could have this thing?

Well the thing is that the three barrels don't actually rotate. When they fire they slide back like the cannon on a tank does. What you are seeing is actually three firing chambers expelling rounds into three different stationary barrels.

However I would like her to have a real mini-gun instead, but I'm okay with the weapon she has now.

Jinx would then have to be able move when she shoots or her auto attack would be useless. She would have to get so close that she can kill the enemy before they can leave her range and by doing so she exposes herself to danger. Wich is bad for an ADC. Plus, she doesnt have all the mobility/safety tracer has to keep up or dissengage with her opponent. It's a terrible idea to make her gun like tracer's, but could be used on another champion.

I actually agree with this,

currently it would be a bad idea to just toss it in there of course but as the game evolves and adcs get varying autoattack types I find they are becoming more relevant and interesting relative to other non-ahri's. ADCs are pretty much designed around autoattacking and it makes sense that they should have unique autoattacks. All of them.
