When you look at it, the chemrail is an automatic weapon, no question. But could it also be categorized as an energy-based weapon? I have no idea. Well, my suspicion for this is because the chemrail shoots blue energy like bolts, leaves plasma bullet holes like the plasma shotgun (which is an energy based weapon), and has the sound effect of plasma weapons.

The reason why this might matter is the ghostbuster vest providing extra protection against energy-based weapons. If chemrail is somehow categorized as an energy weapon, it may not be so intimidating by then. If not, then chemrail would still be one heck of a deadly part of the arsenal.

I hope someone with the ghostbuster vest could test this, run around and if a chemrail guy is there, put on the ghostbuster vest and see what happens.
