I believe Stormehawk pointed out that the 'chainguns' found in FL are more aptly described as gatling guns, but its a minor detail to be sure.

I would try to model a new weapon or ship's info card description after those found on the vanilla ships. A weapon found in vanilla freelancer has: the weapon name and some sort of alpha numeric name, the weapon type (photon, tachyon etc.) the faction that designed the weapon and uses it and not much else.

So I would include in the chaingun info card something about what faction designed and uses the chain gun. This of course we don't know. So it isn't really possible to make the chaingun discriptor more like a vanilla weapon's descriptor because it has no relevance to any of the factions in the game. I wasn't here when the chain gun was added but it seems someone wanted a class 10 weapon that could be bought at a base rather than hunted for on wrecks. That gives me another idea which I'll make another post for though.

At any rate, the NPCs don't use the chaingun, there's no description about its history in the disco time line so there are no opportunities to use it to augment role play. The people who use them have various reasons for it but in essence it seams to be an orphan catch-all weapon cluttering up the Zoner weapon's dealers.
