I guess so. Medium to short range is the only range I kill people with it really. I mostly just spray at incoming/outgoing skiing targets and hope for the best. The unfortunate problem I have with it is that 100 damage per bullet isn't quite so great when you're up against, say, a juggernaut or soldier who can blow you apart and knock off your aim with explosions before you mow them down.
Very effective against light units though, as you can spray with it and kill them rather quickly. Also very effective at detecting invisible infiltrators in certain generator rooms by just spraying in a gradual line across the room until you hit them.
Still want that heavy bolter though. My Doombringer needs moar asplosion.
(although I have sunk all my XP into buying all upgrades for both the chaingun and missile launcher...)
