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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All models used here are property of AWG.
