I had the general notion that a chain-gun (or chain gun) was a biggish gun for which the rounds feed in on a 'chain' (belt). But from that Wikipedia article, it seems that the 'chain' term doesn't even refer to the belt of bullets. Oh well. That article badly needs a better diagram though; I can't see anything chain-like there. I'm wondering now where I picked up the term chain-gun to describe the Warthog's gun. The manual variously calls it a "three-barreled machine-gun" and a "three-barreled, electric-powered, linkless, drum-fed weapon".

: the weapon the Warthog's machine gun is modeled after

I didn't know there was one.

: Anyways, to get back on topic good vid as always.

Thanks.
