The AFT-4.600 FLAK Turret is exactly what it states itself to be, a rapidfire slugthrower turret which can be placed upon vehicles, structures, ships, etc. The basis behind the idea to build and design this piece of weaponry was that most shields of smaller craft such as support ships and starfighters are mainly designed to deal with blaster fire, but not with slugs from a Flak gun or rifle. As such the engineers of Nargath Holdings assets went to work on a useable alternative to the mostly extremely expensive and expansive ion and plasma guns and canon placements. The result was the AFT-14.4000 FLAK Turret.
