Rotary Autocannon

Description

Developed in the early 3060s by the Federated Commonwealth, the Rotary Autocannon is based only loosely on the Autocannon. While it has the same bore, it is capable of firing up to six times as many rounds as its standard cousin, allowing it to deal three times the damage of even an Ultra Autocannon. The weapon may be use to fire up to six times in a turn, with each additional shot giving the potential for increased damage. At the same time, each extra shot increases the amount of heat the autocannon builds and increases the chance for a jam. Like Ultra autocannons, Rotary autocannons are unable to make use of special munitions.

Hypervelocity

Due to lack of information on Hypervelocity statistics, and based on current modern military designs, the idea behind Rotery and Hyper-velocity are very similar. This is not canon, and so if information about the differences can be determined, seperate pages should be defined.
