  Chain gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chain gun is a type of machine gun or autocannon that uses an external source of power, rather than recoil, to cycle the weapon.
Other examples of chain guns include the M230 30 mm Cannon, which is standard equipment on the Apache helicopter, as well as the Bushmaster II 30 mm, and the Bushmaster III 35/50 mm Chain gun.
It is a common misnomer to refer to Gatling guns (rotary cannons) as chain guns.

 ChainGun
With this poor range however, it is suggested you not use the chain gun until you have closed in past 275 meters.
Otherwise, the fuel burned by moving and firing the chain gun with a low enough accuracy for the distance is not worth it.
To fully exploit the capabilities of the chain gun, just raise your altitude a good 3/4 of the way when attacking an enemy and get within 50 meters so you are able to aim downward for maximum accuracy.

 Question for military: What Is That Sound??   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
A "chain gun" utilizes a chain in the mechanism that cycles the bolt and feeds ammunition.
Such guns also usually have an elaborate feeding mechanism that runs ammunition through a flexible chute, in some guns without even requiring the ammo to be linked, in which case a "chain" of sorts is also transporting the ammuntion through the circuit.
Most large remotely controlled aircraft guns are "chain guns." Guns such as the Browning.50 are not "chain guns," as they use the opposing forces of recoil and springs with cams and a belt feed lever to cycle the bolt and ammunition.

 Terminator 2: Judgement Day : Unlimited Ammo
Most chain gun's (Gatling, machine etc) have a ammo 'feed' on them to go from the ammo bag to the gun itself.
The gun was a mini gun(listen to the chopper pilot) this gun was used by Jesse Ventura in Predator,and so did Kurt Russell in Soldier.
going back to the ammo feed, the 'chain' that is not moving is not the ammo, but a cover that guides the ammo into the gun, as firing at 100 rounds a sec(!), any mis-alignment would be rather upsetting when the chain fragments and sprays you with bullets and chain link.

Can models not in line of sight of the sentinel be hit by the chain gun, or does that fact that additional attack rolls must be made for each attack mean that the targets must be viable on their own?

And the new AAAV also carries the Mk 44 30mm chain gun, which uses the same ammo as the naval gun.
I was just curious if the USN was "suggesting" any commonality, meaning that the LAV could considerably benefit from the improved performance of the 30mm gun, which does have a potent APFSDS round available.
