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.[2]
The Machine Gun Array itself allows two to four machine guns of the same type (standard, light, or heavy) to be linked and fired as one.[2] This has the benefit of only requiring one hit check to see if every linked machine gun hits the target. This using the same feature also has the drawback of if the single roll misses, the entire array will miss.
Models
Machine Gun Arrays are manufactured on the following planets:
Brand | Planet | Company | Used by | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
