Best Small Weapons for the Chieftain ?
Cytoscramblers with some grade of LR (for the damage falloff).
Same build here, really enjoying it PVE only so far.
I tried overcharged plasma's but the heat jump was massive, so I've switched them out for efficient. Sturdy mount railguns also for the heat drop can be fired almost constantly. All plasma slug with an extra fuel tank and scoop.
I'm going to try switching the experimental effects for damage increase/special effects when I can be bothered but a couple of salvo's is enough for FAS shields anyway so no real rush.

I put debuff weapons on mine - feedback cascade rails, corrosive frags, drag munitions frags etc.
Personally, I went for railguns. But my primary reason for that was to practise with them. They are quite effective at taking shields down. 
The larger weapons are gimballed multicannons.

I would highly suggest just loading some double shot fragment cannons in all slots but the medium. Use what ever you want in the medium slot to take out shields with. (I suggest fixed weapons.) I have been using the fixed guardian plasma charger.
The chieftain is so maneuverable and fun. It will actually teach you smaller craft have been stopping to attack you and just turn on their axis instead. (read eagles and sidewinders)
Go to the nav beacon and have fun.

Putting 3 mcs with corrosive shells there is a waste tough since the effect doesn't stack, just do one and do something else with the other two.You can't go wrong with MCs that have the Corrosive Shell Experimental on them. That is what I use on my Chieftain's Class 1 slots. Threat Level 4 Corvette's have not been a problem so far.
