Ratatatata: The Joy of Chainfiring
Trar:
I just prefer finding a really good shotgun and getting Shottyman. It's basically how you do AoSh: strafe and keep spamming in the general direction of your enemy. That and corner camping.
AlterAsc:
Fail to see the connection between your post and chainfiring.
If you mean that you prefer shotguns over rapidfire weapons then, well, that's your choice, however in the late game rapid-fire weapons are vastly superior to shotguns.
thelaptop:
MAD.
Armour? What armour?
But that said, Chainfire is designed to lay waste to things before they can even hit you. Minigun works nicely due to its large magazine size, but like all rapid-fire weapons, suffers tremendously from lack of accuracy.
The rule of thumb to effectively use rapid fire weapons (especially in chainfire mode) is to slap one A-mod to a chaingun, and 2xA-mod to a plasma rifle, with EE replacing one A-mod. This also means that MCe, in spite of its use as a general purpose Master, is actually quite useful for rapid-fire builds. If you are using MSs but are not bound by weapons restrictions, this also means that you can carry an additional Plasma Rifle/BFG to go after those things that are resistant to bullets (plasma burns a little more strongly through armour), since 3xEE means you don't really miss any shots with the plasma rifle.
Trar:
I just find myself using shotguns and going for shotgun builds more than I do chaingun builds. That could change, but shotguns will always remain viable in my eyes.

I find myself chainfiring a lot in UV. I set up a corner shoot position with Knights and Barons and mow 'em down. I wouldn't be able to do enough damage to a Baron at the edge of my vision range to kill him before he gets in range without chainfire. The way I set it up is with my wait time set to a high number, I find a good position and just wait for them to come to me. If I'm not careful though I can get ambushed.
When playing rapid fire, I stay away from corners because getting surprised by a demon when you're holding a chaingun sucks balls. So demons always show up at the range of my vision, chainfire again helps, especially if I can't/haven't yet taken EE.
