==Description==
The '''Machine Gun Array''' ('''MGA''') was developed in [[3068]] by the [[Federated Suns]]. Despite that, the [[Taurian Concordat]] was actually the first power to use them, as they had pilfered the technology from the FedSuns and were able to quickly reverse engineer and put it into production. [[Clan Diamond Shark]] also created an identical [[Clan]] version that was unveiled around roughly the same time.<ref name="TMp228"/>

The Machine Gun Array itself allows two to four [[machine gun]]s of the same type (standard, [[Light Machine Gun|light]], or [[Heavy Machine Gun|heavy]]) to be linked and fired as one.<ref name="TMp228"/> This has the benefit of only requiring one hit check to see if every linked machine gun hits the target. This same feature also has the drawback of, if the single roll misses, the entire array will miss.
