SPECIAL FEATURES

Strengths:
  • Exceptional Cooling: The EBX.6 comes with six rotating barrels, each with a separate actuating chamber and coolant, allowing for heavy sustained fire on target without worry of the weapon overheating during combat situations.

Weaknesses:
  • Power Requirements: The EBX.6 is a very power-intensive weapon, requiring significant amounts of energy from its ship or vehicle’s power source. While this isn’t a problem on larger craft like gunships or specialized fighters, it makes it not possible to mount them on speeders or other small craft.

DESCRIPTION

To add another ship-borne weapon to their arsenal, the development team at EODD put their focus onto a mid-range blaster cannon for use on atmospheric ships and vehicles. The EBX.6 fills that role, a rotary blaster cannon with a superb rate of fire and internal cooling system to prevent it from overheating during combat operations. Despite its somewhat average range, the EBX.6 provides excellent support fire, with an upper limit of 2000 shots in its gas canister, meaning that multiple guns mounted on a single vehicle will make almost any enemy rush for cover on the battlefield.
