I liked the chaingun, but it had two problems for me.

One, it only held belts of 60 rounds at a time (which is an awful little for something that seems like it would be a GPMG or SAW), and I don't think there's any reason the belts shouldn't have been 100 rounds, or alternatively, just linked all together, so you wouldn't have been reloading (but I guess gameplay balance is an issue). Also, it would have been cool to see the actual belt feed into the gun as it fires.

Another is that it fires just way too slow to justify all six of it's barrels, it could have had one barrel and it would probably not have overheated at all. I guess it's a throwback to the first games, where it was used as the game's machinegun because it's simply cool looking.

I know it's just a videogame, but it does tickle my autism.
I guess if I could change some things, I'd make the chaingun fire 50% faster, and feed from belts of 100 rounds, rather than 60 rounds.

Otherwise, it felt powerful, and I loved the thundering thumps of every shot.
