I think the machine gun in Quake2 is based on the Heckler and Koch 9mm. At
least that is what it looks like. Dont know about the chaingun. I know the
Vulcun is used on U.S. AA units. Uses 23mm rounds. If that was correct you
wouldnt be able to lift the thing much less fire it. Trying to think of
what they had used in that movie Predator. That seems to me to be the same
gun Quake uses. Sure would be a trip to fire that in real life!
