A normal human CAN wield a chaingun, so the hardest of hard futuristic space marines surly can.
The average adult male human is 5'9" and weighs 165lbs. The average human (whether he is 'normal' as you say or not) is not capable of holding/firing a chain gun.
Even a chain gun as small as the GAU 2B (5.56, 2000 RPM sustained / 4000 RBM burst) would prove too powerful for the average human to handle without it being mounted.
Though, in the movie The Predator, Jessy levels a patch of jungle with a chain gun (which looks like a hollywood version of the GAU 2B), in now way shape or form, should we confuse Jessy with the average adult male. The dude, afterall, was once a Navy SEAL.
