Flails can be used as a CQC weapon, as shown here http://www.h-u-m-rueegg.li/images/turnier-1.jpg.

Flail-heads (Can't believe someone else used that word) fold into the bottom of the barrel, (If < was the way the barrel was pointed, it'd go FFFMM, if F means flail head in a folded positon and M is the part that stays attached to the barrel).

As for Ammo concerns, there's only really one solution I could think of for a high-rate of fire weapon to be plausably free with ammo, and that's Box Magazines (Which makes sense, as it's essentially a Minigun M60 that turns into a flail).
