As it was already alluded to, you can change the rate of fire of a chain gun by changing the amount of power going to the drive motor, this is a useful option when switching between ground and air targets. This can also be done with a conventional gun but its a pain in the ass to add artificial friction to the gun mechanism. Naturally I welcome the news that HMS Queen Elizabeth will receive her 30mm outfit before her first operational deployment later this year.
Despite its name, the Chain Gun is not actually a chain gun, but a rotary cannon due to the fact that it possesses multiple barrels in a presumably Gatling-style configuration. It still being referred to as a chain gun despite this fact could make it a reference to the Chaingun from the video game series Doom, which is also not an actual chain gun. Crystal Bullets also can deal large amounts of damage to larger, stationary enemies and bosses such as Golem. The linked rounds pass up from the pannier on the right through the flex chute to the receiver on the gun breech. The flexible chute allows the gun to elevate between -20º to +65º (HMS Sutherland, Oct 2011. Photo: Navy Lookout) The mount is gyro-stabilised, electrically operated and self-contained with a choice of control modes and sights. It is designed to have a low magnetic, radar and infrared signature, be reliable and easy to maintain. The Mk.44 is a great weapon and it saddens me to see the Army not adopting it for their AFV fleet. I have spent the last 15 years working with chain guns of differing calibres and uses but they all look virtually identical on the inside.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:Despite being a completely different gun the L94A1 performs nearly identically to the L8A1 and FN MAG seen on other British tanks at Rank 6. This gives it a lower rate of fire than the L37A1 and L37A2, but a higher rate of fire than the L3A1 (7.62 mm) seen on lower rank tanks. The mount has a modular central yoke which and it can be configured for use with cannons between 25-40mm. It is a highly flexible design that can be customised with different ammunition arrangements, gunner’s cabin, sights, sensors or co-mounted weapons such as small missiles or other light guns. MSI-DSL markets the mount as the ‘Seahawk DS’ family but this designation is not officially used by the RN which instead refers to the whole system as the Automated Small Calibre Gun (ASCG) or more commonly, “the 30mm”. Problems with the electrical systems in the Warrior IFV have caused the weapon to fire without warning several times, resulting in the army issuing a safety notice. In at least one incident, this has resulted in injury to a British soldier and in others injuries to civilians. [3] The MoD denied the problem initially. [4]
