Description
Sponson turrets are pieces of equipment that are available to both combat vehicles and support vehicles. Often though not always mounted in pairs with one on either side of a vehicle, the sponsons allow for the placement of even larger weapons in small turrets that can protect the sides of a vehicle. This allows a vehicle to fire its side mounted weapons in a 180-degree arc, instead of the usual 60-degree arc.
While a pre-spaceflight innovation, the Sponson turrets were an experimental technology until 3079, after which they began to be mass produced and deployed by various powers. [3]
