Just a couple quick questions about chainfire; since I was about to try start a few chainfiring characters:

>> Is it like a mode switch or do I have to press Shift-F every time to rev up the chaingun/plasmarifle? (actually, if the latter is the case, would CAPSLOCK work for combat engagements?)
>> Does Ammochain and Entrenchment ONLY work during the secondary fire? Or do they apply to the standard volleys?

If you begin chainfiring and there's still an enemy visible, you'll still be chainfiring. This behaviour continues until you need to reload or all enemies in sight are dead.
Ammochain works always, on all rapid fire weapons. You don't need to chainfire for Ammochain, but Entrenchment will only provide its resistances when you're chainfiring.

So, I press SHIFT-F once at the start of the fight, and then its okay to just press f and chainfire will continue to happen as long as enemies are around?

See, I tested on Hells playground and chainfire only ever fired 3 shots with a Chaingun, so I assume it must see enemies to start its rev up.

If there are enemies in your vision after a chain fire volley, the game will put you back into targeting mode.  At this point, you use 'f' or left click (not right click, that cancels) to continue to chain fire the chaingun.

Thanks Shark20061.

Also, I'm guessing the Tower Shield/Ballistic Shield is not actually an off-hand item by its placement in the wiki?

Seems a bit funny that you're wearing a shield, makes me want to shout "Ain't that cute, but its wrong!". :D
