HR: UNSC Weapons - Chain Gun (M41)

Basic description: Medium range. Usually mounted on the back of a Warthog or on top of the Scorpion tank, has infinite ammunition, no recoil effect.

NEW FOR HALO REACH: Takes much longer to spin up to speed, and can overheat if overused.

Restrictions: Accuracy is compensated for with sheer number of rounds. Has a blind spot all the way around the warthog when enemies are too close.

Uses: Short to medium range. Suppressing infantry, defending objectives, killing vehicles. Note that the Warthog will lose most direct 1:1 vehicle battles unless a skilled driver can avoid enemy fire. Aiming for head may increase kill rate, even though this is not a headshot weapon.

Best for: New players that can contribute just by holding down the trigger. Is significantly more effective in the hands of a seasoned gunner though.
