Fires 20 mm rounds. The chaingun actually sounds pretty close to what a minigun sounds like when fired( except the minigun is much louder). I believe the machinegun is modeled after the H & K MP-5(sort of looks like it). There are plenty of different types of rocket launchers, but I have never seen one that fires rockets off of a chain. I fired the AT-4 (anti-tank, v 4) when I was in the marines. It is a disposable weapon.Made mostly of cardboard and plastic. Shoot it once and throw it away. I fired the m-203 grenade launcher, which hangs under the barrell of the m-16 assault rifle. There are all different kinds of ammo for it ( flares, High explosive dual purpose, armor piercing, even a shotgun-type shell. It fires a 40 mm round. You aren't supposed to fire it at a target less than 100 yards away. The rounds won't even arm at less than around 35 yards (don't remember the exact number, been awhile). There is a 12shot riot shotgun that has a revolving cylinder that holds the rounds and spins when you shoot it (very cool). There are also plenty of double-barrell shotguns around. bong wrote in message <35334ed9.3100497@news.telia.lt>... > > Hm, I have an interesting question (for me at least:). >I've heard that the real prototype of chaingun in real life is GE M134 >"Vulcan" mini-gun. >And the machinegun is just the good ol' AK (Automat Kalashnykowo). > >Can be this information correct?
