I don't get why people complain that the Doom chaingun had a neutered attack speed. It actually fired pretty fast for a weapon of those days, and while the Wolfenstein chaingun did have a faster ROF, keep in mind pic related is how a machine gun was supposed to be back then. So really, the Doom chaingun still had a very fast ROF, and certainly above that of regular automatic weapons of those days.

It wasn't until later that firearms got more realistic fire rates.

You know, the Doom chaingun does feel like a proper minigun once you realize this is what a machine gun was like back then.
