Laser chain gun spinning forever

[Bananas]

After firing the laser chain gun, the gun plays the spinning animation even after I stop firing. It's not actually shooting, just playing the animation on the barrel.

I play on lowest settings if that matters.

When I first heard about this, I checked it out myself. Barrel keeps spinning even after stopping firing, switching weapons/reloading.

I play on medium/high settings, so I don't think it's graphics settings wise

By the way is this laser chain gun is a high level gun?? and what are those spinning in this weapon??

The laser chain gun is the weapon of Nod's laser chain gunner, which has a very high DPS. Spinning means the barrel continues spinning, as despite being a laser weapon, it's modeled after a chaingun.

Some of the spinning action for the chaingun is for cooling the barrel so it doesn't overheat (alternating barrels), as many older machineguns required air and liquid cooling systems. I suppose the laser chaingun has similar problems.

If not even more. Lasers are very hot.
