You need to make a lump called SNDINFO. This is just a simple text file that you import as a lump. Export the one from Zdoom.wad if you are not sure of the format.
In your SNDINFO you need to add the entries that will tell Zdoom which sounds to use for the weapons you want to change. The ones you are asking about are:
weapons/pistol for the pistol and weapons/chngun for the chaingun.
You need to add your own sound lumps to a WAD, and then set up your sndinfo to point to them. So, if you put 2 sound lumps into a wad (we'll call them MYSND1 and MYSND2) you could set things up like this:
weapons/pistol MYSND1
weapons/chngun MYSND2
Note, you should not copy the entire original SNDINFO from Zdoom wad, you should just put in the modified entries you want. The sndinfo lumps are cumulative, so Zdoom reads its own sndinfo and then adds any changes based on what is in your own one. Using the whole SNDINFO in an add on WAD causes problems as some entires need to be in the Zdoom.WAD only, and nowhere else.
This will not work with Zdoom 1.22, you need the newest Zdoom version.
SNDINFO can be used to change a great many sounds, including things that were impossible previously, like making SSGuys, Spidermaterminds and Shotgun Guys all use different attack sounds, or defining sounds to be placed into DEHACKED patches over and above the limited number of sounds possible in Doom, or defining ambient sounds...
Edit:
Ack, I just noticed you were asking about the chainguy, not chaingun. My bad.
Oh well, I'll leave the other stuff up as it may be useful. In Zdoom, you can still do this by creating a SNDINFO lump.
Make a text file that reads:
chainguy/attack dspistol
and then import it into a WAD as a lump called SNDINFO.
