The bug part is incorrect. It does go through volt's shield. When fired through it, this thing just mows down crowds from a good distance. Stacking shields beefs up the added electro damage.

If you leave base fire damage type untouched, by adding mods for (blast, gas or viral) it'll combine with shield's electro damage bonus into radiation.

Two tips: use the Ruinous Extension mod, as it affects the chain part + when aiming through the shield, aim a bit lower than the target (it's somewhat tricky to land a shot at long range).
