The M230 Chain Gun is a 30 mm (30×113 mm), single-barrel chain-driven autocannon, using external electrical power (as opposed to recoil or expanding gas generated by the firing cartridge) to cycle the weapon between shots.

Designed and manufactured originally by Hughes Helicopters in Culver City, California. The company was acquired by McDonnell Douglas Helicopters in 1985, which merged into Boeing Corporation in 1997.
In 2002, it was sold again to Alliant Techsystems, which merged with Orbital Sciences Corporation in 2015 to form Orbital ATK and was, in turn, bought out by Northrop Grumman in 2018.

As of 2019, it is produced by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems.

801m/s projectile velocity and a RoF of 600. Max range of 1600m (Server sync range may interfere)
It will penetrate 0.8 blocks of small grid light armour equivalent per hit.

Remember to have "Use conveyors" toggle-able via toolbar as to let the gun draw ammo. I have no idea why this is not in the control panel.
Currently has no icon in the assembler, but the ammo is there.
This is not meant to beat small grid gatling guns. These are balanced versus tanks and other vehicles using my weapons, as vanilla weapons are very overly powerful versus small grids either way.

Big thanks to Whiplash141 for making the penetration framework! Without his work, none of these mods would have been possible

Hi @AWG,
Is it possible I can tweak the mod a little so a friend and I can use it on our MP server? The server is just us, and I can definitely publish as either Unlisted or Friends Only, whichever works best for you. Thanks,
Tresspassers

it seems that the mod is broken - there is no sound, tracers and damage are strange

Nice Mod, but the sound does not work.

I don't know if I had realistic sound on without me realising, but it appears that this cannon has no sound. Could someone else check and see if this is the case?

@AWG can you make a M134?

Can you please add the updated version to your weapon core pack?
I really enjoy using this weapon, and I'm very sad it's not in your core pack as of yet.
