Chaingun



Chainguns were extremely powerful range weapons that fired small blaster bolts at a very high volume, and at extremely high speeds. The sound of a chaingun would horrify targets, as hundreds of blaster bolts struck their bodies. Chainguns made short work of large groups of enemies, and operated off an automatically recharging power source, however it was a large, heavy, and unwieldy weapon.

History
The clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic used the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon during the Clone Wars. One of these rotating blaster cannon chainguns was used in battle against General Grievous on Hypori. Another example of a chaingun is the LS-150 Heavy Accelerated Charged Particle Repeater Gun, used by Trandoshan slavers on Kashyyyk.
