The Cacomen soldiers are in dire need of heavy automatic weapondry, we are not looking for simple assault rifles and machineguns, but heavy-duty, multi-barreled weapons, namely, the chaingun. We have few requirements, accept that it is indeed a chaingun, not a minigun or gattling gun, but a handheld, possibly duel wielded. Will use war funds left over from the Garretstein incident to pay for weapondry.

((the problem is that you can't really multi-barrel a chaingun without calling it a mini-gun. plus there is no way you can make it hand held, much less duel wield it without calling it a machine gun...))

(I don't mean to be rude about this, but a chaingun has, I believe, 8 barrels, and the bullets feed into another chamber which is centered, the difference basically between a mini-gun and a chaingun is that a mini-gun is held to the side by a handle that is above the gun, meant to be held in two hands, a chaingun has a conventional gun handle and is held in one arm, possibly, if the strength of the user was great enough, which the Cacomen are, another chaingun could be held in the opposite hand and in the other arm.)
EDIT: Here are some sprites made by me of some Cacomen with duel chainguns, to give an idea of what I mean, of course, they are just sprites and are animated, but, it's a thought.

OOC: Actually, a chaingun is called a chaingun because the firing mechanism is opperated by a chain run by electricty, rather then gas blowback or recoil like most other guns.
Most chainguns are single barreled.
And the "chaingun" from Doom or Wolfenstein are not chainguns, they
're gatling guns.. but chaingun sounds cooler.

I can spare some chainguns if you need.

((I love Wolfenstein/Doom, and yes, Chaingun does sound cooler, but what I'm looking for is, I suppose, a gatling gun sith a conventional handle.))

(A chain gun is a type of machine gun or autocannon that uses a external source of power, rather than recoil, to cycle the weapon. As far as I know about military weaponry, a chaingun has one barrel... usually attatched to a vehicle or mobile weapons platform. Bullets are fed into the weapon from a chain.)

((Yeah, I can work with that, but, wow, it seems that they've been leading us on for a while, all this time they've been calling it a chaingun! *They: EVERY Mention to a "chaingun"!))

((These aren't chainguns...))

((Yeah, I can work with that, but, wow, it seems that they've been leading us on for a while, all this time they've been calling it a chaingun! *They: EVERY Mention to a "chaingun"!))

((Those bast-! making it look soooooooooo cool. :( ))

((Well now you know what I'm talking about at least, correct? What matters is not whether we call it a chaingun, or a minigun, or a Gattling gun, it's just the fact that, well, I'd like to buy some!))

I've posted information on the model we are selling.

Lightning 12mm Rotary Chaingun:

Caliber: 5.56mm NATO
Weigth: 9kg w/o magazine
Length: 900 mm
Length: of barrel 621 mm
Rate of Fire: 1600 rpm
Clip Size: 150
Recoil: 45kg

((Technically there shouldn't be a clip size, as since they are chain fed, you could just keep attatching more chains together to form an almost unlimited supply... also you could do the whole Raven thing from Metal Gear Solid 1 (the 3d one) and strap a barrel of chaingun ammo to your back.))

There is a clip but at least when used by my soldiers it's connected to a battlebox, which weights about 100kg and carrys 50,000 rounds, but as it is a sperate item I didin't mention it.

((ah...))

Rofl Draconic. Not everyone is as strong as Vulcan Raven (That name is so crap. All the other names flow. Sniper-wolf, Pshyco-Mantis, Liquid-Snake. Say it aloud. But anyway)

Alright, The Cacomen have reviewed all options, Theao, We've decided to accept your offer, please give me a quote on a reasonable amount of the weapons, and we will make sure that the money is wired to you.

Each gun costs 500$, a battlebox would be 250$ and production rights would be 50,000$.
