Hyper-Velocity Cannon (HVC)
(c) Manufacturer - Damage, Inc. (An RER Industries affiliate) Height: 4 feet at the firing device Length: 12 feet, including firing device (4 feet) and barrel (8 feet) Weight: 6 tons Damage: Incredible Range:
Notes: Advanced design of a Strategic-Defense-Initiative (SDI or Star Wars) test weapon. The Lexan Kinetic Energy Weapon (as it was known then) fired a 7-gram pellet into a cast aluminum block. This created a 7 inch diameter hole that was 5 inches deep. The projectile was moving at 2,300 feet per second. The HVC uses standard, easy to find, copper BBs. These are fired at 5,500 feet per second, which, in the Earth's atmosphere, causes the projectile to vaporize after only a second, limiting its range. This device can be mounted on a turret, or an aircraft hard-point. The energy source for the device would limit its maximum rate of fire. It needs to have Amazing energy to launch a projectile. Therefore if there was a Good ranked energy source, the device could be fired once every 5 rounds. An Amazing energy source would allow the device to fire once every round. An Unearthly energy source or higher would allow the device to fire twice every round. The absolute maximum rate of fire is twice per round. Every area beyond the Maximum Effective Range reduces damage -2cs. |
