Because of the Eternal Empire's combined arms doctrine, which is very different from galactic standards emphasizing commando-type infantry and highly mobile light speeders or walkers, its military can afford to deploy highly specialized troops, weapons and vehicles that are intended to work together as a group.
One of the most versatile and popular weapons which originates from this, is the KC-91 Automatic Cannon. A weapon designed to be both used by infantry, as well as tanks and even aircraft is a favourite to be seen in any fire-support role. Its characteristical TAK. TAK. TAK. being the sound of how enemies are forced out of cover or their armored protection being shredded by its versatile ammo.
Deployed in turrets, on wings, in emplacements or on a tripod it serves its duty in all battlefields and is much more popular than similar laser weapons due to its beautiful sound and adaptability. It is fed with magazines which are marked to show which ammo is in and a well trained and disciplined team can keep a continuous fire up, even suppressing.
