True. But quad dualgats at close to mid range will own that chaingun. Four bullets x 10 damage each x 4(quad) = 160 damage for one press of the trigger. ;)

What Doomer uses a chaingun at close range? If you're gonna pull out some figures, I will too ;p
For close range, a SSG deals a max of 176 damage - 22 pellets at 8 damage each. Each pellet quadded deals 32 damage, killing most anything in one shot if at least 5 pellets hit. The probability of that happening from close to mid range is very high :) Also, the damage is instantaneous
