This version of the Chaingun fires with randomized duration, each attack state taking randomly between 1 and 2 tics:

class WeirdChaingun : Chaingun
{
    States {
    Fire:
        CHGG AB 1
        {
            A_SetTics(random(1,2));
            A_FireCGun();
        }
        #### # 0 A_ReFire;
        goto Ready;
    }
}
