Explanation:
On ne le traduit pas! C'est l'héritier des "Gattling guns", ancêtre aussi de la mitrailleuse. la "Chain" ici, désigne la bande d'alimentation.

mitrailleuse ou fusil mitrailleur


Explanation:
chain gun est conservé dans les jeux vidéo FPS (first person shot) type DOOM, DUKE NUKEM ou QUAKE) mais en vrai français, c'est mitrailleuse ou fusil mitrailleur si c'est à destinée militaire pure.
