It doesn't take very long to empty a LCG clip, and if you really need cover you don't HAVE to stay out there forever. Smart infantry use cover, and when they're not under cover they're dodging every which way. I tall boils down to one cold, hard truth: I, using my pesky little Laser Chaingun, do not have to lead my target while you, the big honkin' tank, do. I would have to try really, really hard to miss your tank, while you have to put in actual effort of some kind to hit my little soldier standing halfway across the map.

Were you aware that a Laser Chaingun can take down aircraft at a rate second only to that of the n00bjet? Low per-shot damage is NOT a disadvantage if you've got the speed and accuracy to make it up, and the Laser Chaingun has both.

Is it the best weapon in every situation? Hell no, it isn't. There are plenty of times when I'd take a PIC/Railgun or a Rocket Launcher instead. IMHO, the weapons with high per-shot damage are better for defensive duty, not the Laser Chaingun- in defensive situations, the enemy is closer, which means you want to be behind cover a lot more (meaning, in turn, that you want to do a lot of damage in a very short period of time every time you pop out of cover). On an open field, I'd rather have a Laser Chaingun, because it lets me get in the maximum amount of damage with the minimum amount of downtime between shots and reloads (the Laser Chaingun also has one of the fastest reloads in the whole game). It won't leave me high and dry in an infantry brawl, either (miss even once with a slower weapon and you leave yourself wide open), and (as I believe I've stated before) it is positively brilliant as an anti-aircraft weapon.

I might just be hazarding a guess here, but I'm just going to go ahead and say that I seriously doubt you've spent much time actually using a Laser Chaingun. When I'm on Nod, unless I'm playing as an Engineer or in armor, that's the first thing I buy... and most of the time, I live a lot longer using that than I do using anything else. The Laser Chaingun really is a devastatingly effective weapon.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
