T7 Mini-Chaingun

The T7 is the Terran Republic's 'special weapon' for Heavy Assault infantry. Unfortunately, unlike the other factions' special weapons, the Lasher and the Jackhammer, the T7 is neither special nor particularly good. The name suggests that the T7 fires very fast, it is actually only about twenty percent faster than the default CARV. It is also significantly less accurate, being almost ineffective beyond medium range, and unable to accommodate sights, even iron sights. Most detrimental is the T7's spin-up time, which is about one second. While this may seem like a small amount of time, in most fights it is enough for an enemy to easily kill you. Even the weapon's fire rate is more of a side-grade: since it has the same clip size and ammunition capacity as the CARV, you might think of it as simply going through ammunition a little faster.
