Umm... the recoil factor in a chaingun would be... excessive. There's a good article here http://world.guns.ru/machine/minigun-e.htm The recoil force for a six-barrel would be somewhere close to 300 pounds per second. That's like being hit by a linebacker. A 55-pound ammunition load (2000 rounds) would last twenty seconds. The batteries would weigh another fifteen to twenty pounds and protection from the ejecting casings would require body armor and face protection. So assuming you could carry about 140 pounds of gear devoted solely to the chaingun, it would still knock the shooter on their @ss pretty quickly. They could be mounted on a hardpoint, tho...
