Well, it's mentioned briefly at the tail end of the Rifles section (2.2.2). I
don't think there's anything in the Pistols or Lasers section, maybe I'll add
those when I'm done moving back down to Los Angeles.

Shoot! You just reminded me that I meant to do a cone effect for the
flamethrowers. I'll have to change that too.
I've never seen chainguns handled that way before, but then I've never played
Tribes. I guess a quality Vulcan cannon could work that way, which would make
a good anti-personnel Siege weapon; it would also be fun as a troop-portable
weapon at TL5 or higher -- lots of opportunity for friendly-fire casualties
with a weapon like that.
Speaking of friendly fire (as an aside), I played a great game on Sunday in
which I loaded all my troopers with the heaviest weapons possible and no
armor - I think I suffered 80% casualties in the first three turns, every one
from friendly fire. I won the battle though, it was a gloriously Phyrric
victory.
