Jiang Wen's big gun!

I'm not a big SW weapons aficionado, and I know most of my figures as a kid ended up just randomly holding the wrong guns, I never payed much attention,. but I know there are sticklers for this kind of details on these forums.

So I couldn't help but notice Wen's Weapon, has what (at least visually) looks like a machinegun style heavy duty amo-feed-cartridge-chain system.
Is this unique to his character?
Or
Have we seen this type of gun before?

You can see his hand resting on the grip, and the "amo-feed" wraps around his legs.

For a different look at it, I believe there's a couple of extra versions of it, sitting on set.
One on the closet orange crate sitting alone.
The other on the black-draped table, where you can among other things also see two props of Donnie Yen staff.

Either Way, I thought it was a unique looking prop, and with little other news out there, thought I would draw some attention to it.
Looks cool!

Jiang Wen plays Baze, a freelance assassin

He's not overcompensating with that gun at all.

Jiang Wen’s Baze Malbus, who is described as “heavily armored” and a loyal friend of Chirrut,

Not much new on his character, except we have his full name now.
And he's pals with Donnie Yen's character.

I'm going to like this guy; instead of being your typical dour martial arts master (sorry Donnie) we've got an Asian space redneck.

Awesome character, reminded me of Bill Duke in Predator.
