The Barbarian Twin Chaingun is a direct rapid-fire ballistic weapon. Like many other such weapons, it deals direct damage with a high rate of fire. While it deals low damage per shot compared to many other ballistic weapons, it's advantage lay in that it is a twin-linked weapon, firing two projectiles for each of it's 3 round bursts.

Creator's Notes
The Barbarian Twin Chaingun is a direct rapid-fire ballistic weapon. Like many other such weapons, it deals direct damage with a high rate of fire. While it deals low damage per shot compared to many other ballistic weapons, it's advantage lay in that it is a twin-linked weapon, firing two projectiles for each of it's 3 round bursts. Since these projectiles are in a very tight grouping, it's unlikely that one shot will hit while the other misses, effectively doubling the weapon's damage.
When paired with the Barbarian's other stock weapons, this gives the mech some not insignificant direct fire capabilities. While pilots may prefer to replace it with weapons that pair better with the mech's other main weapons, or ones with higher damage per shot, the Twin Chaingun remains a good choice for dealing with hard to target opponents, especially air-born targets.
