A chain gun has a single barrel, while a Gatling gun/ Minigun has several rotating barrels and internally do not use chains to drive the weapon. It is a common error to refer to Gatling guns as chain guns, particularly in connection with entertainment such as video games (notably the popular first-person shooter Doom).
The 20mm Phalanx CIWS and the 30mm combination provides a formidable additional line of anti-aircraft defence. (HMS Duncan, 2018). The weapon was originally intended as a replacement for the coaxial weapon in the American M60 tank. The weapon was evaluated by both the US Army and the US Naval weapon center, who reported that the performance of the weapon was outstanding during all phases of testing. [2] However, neither chose to adopt the weapon.I don’t know how much of an issue it really is, but I understand Nic Drummond to have fairly good information. The L94A1 performs nearly identically to the L8A1 and FN MAG, having the same rate of fire and ballistic performance. To replace the rather motley collection of Bofors 40mm, Oerlikon 20mm and the GCM-AO3 with their differing ammunition, training and logistic requirements, the RN opted for modern single 30mm cannon. The LS-30B mount was designed by Laurence Scott Ltd and entered service with the RN in 1989 carrying the Oerlikon KCB 30mm cannon, the system was designated in service as the DS-30B (Laurence Scott having been taken over by MSI Defence Systems Ltd). This mounting and it’s modified descendent, the DS-30M Mk II remain in service today. Seahawk
effective also against Class 1 UAS, Michael Hafften, Director Business Development for Ammunition at Northrop Grumman said, this Following the M230LF fielding in theatre in different roles the US military, which call it XM914, issued a Request for Information for additional M-LIDS (Mobile-Low, slow, small unmanned aircraft Integrated Defeat System) in which the Northrop Grumman chain gun finding is the hard-kill Counter-UAS effector. With a weight less than 73 kg without ammunition and a recoil force of less than 7,400 N, it can be fitted to many RCWS designed for hosting 12.7 mm heavy machine guns. The M230LF chain gun can shoot single shot, controlled burst, and full automatic, in the latter mote the firing rate reaching 200 rounds per minute, and provides a lethality range of over 2,000 meters. I remember reading how the small size of the ammunition would allow much more to be carried and thinking space due to cost would never ever be a problem. As of 2019 [update], "chain gun" is a registered trademark of Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems (formerly Orbital ATK, following several mergers and acquisitions after Hughes Helicopters) for "externally-powered machine guns".

The new gun is expected to increase the rate of fire that is seen now on the Apache. The company is taking experience from its suite of advanced ammunition technologies, like the 30mm ammunition line, to develop 20mm projectiles “with significantly improved lethality against a range of targets including troops, [unmanned aerial vehicles], rotary- and fixed-wing assets, and other assets in the deep battlespace,” Canole said.
Crystal Bullets also can deal large amounts of damage to larger, stationary enemies and bosses such as Golem.

The L94A1 is a British 7.62 mm chain gun, it is a license-built copy of the long-barrelled version of the American Hughes EX-34 7.62 mm chain gun. Being only a 7.62 mm machine gun it is largely ineffective against all but the most weakly armoured, or open cabin, vehicles. Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example: L94A1 is the British Ministry of Defence designation for the long-barrelled version of the Hughes EX-34 7.62 mm chain gun, which is fitted to several British Army armoured fighting vehicles, including the Challenger 2 and the Warrior. A second version with a shorter barrel, designated L95A1, was also procured in small numbers.
The MK II will also be fitted to the Type 26 frigates, probably using refurbished mounts removed from Type 23s as they decommission. The Mk 1 mount is fitted to the Type 45 destroyers, the minehunters and some RFAs. Although there is space available, it seems unlikely the Type 31 frigates will be fitted with either 20 or 30mm cannons as they will have two automated Bofors 40mm Mk4 mounts. Vessel 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”. 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) During testing conducted by Hughes, the weapon proved extremely reliable, firing two 10,000 round bursts lasting 20 minutes at 500 rounds per minute. [2] It has a reported rounds between failure rate of approximately 50,000 rounds. An interesting alternative configuration of the Seahawk DS A1 mount offered by MSI-DSL (Not in service with the RN). The Bushmaster is duel-fed with ammunition from left and right panniers. The gunner’s cabin is replaced by controls directly mounted on the gun, although the weapon is typically remotely controlled. Note the addition of angled panels to the mount intended to further reduce radar signature.The L94A1 can only be equipped with one ammo belt consisting of two Armour Piercing (AP) bullets, followed by one Tracer (T) bullet. Neither bullet has much penetration (maximum of 13 mm), however, the AP bullet performs much better than the tracer bullet. Chlorophyte Bullets pair well with the Chain Gun, as their homing ability negates the gun's singular weakness of accuracy. Chinn, George M. (Lt.Col., USMC, Retd), ed. (1987).

Retrieved 19 March 2019. {{ cite book}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: editors list ( link) 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]
