7.62 mm CHAINGUN?  Are you quite sure it's not simply a recoil-operated
machinegun?

I suppose it'd be POSSIBLE to build a sub-20 mm chaingun, but the ROF
would be
very slow, and I can't for the life of me figure out why you'd want to,
when
cheap, accurate, reliable conventional-action 7.62mm machineguns are
readily
available.
