STRENGTHS
- Versatile: The Model 48 can be used as either a point defense turret on larger ships, or the main armament on smaller freighters and potentially some starfighters
- Targeting: With a high rate of fire and solid punch, as well as two different firing modes, the cannon can be used to either shoot down fighters, ordinance, or damage larger ships
- Compatible: The turret is very easy to link up and connect with virtually any targeting and scanning system, whether it be manual or automatic. It can also be easily deployed as a gun emplacement.
- Cheap: With simple materials, basic programming and universal systems, the cannon is cheap and very easy to produce.
WEAKNESSES
- Recoil: The cannon generates a lot of recoil, potentially throwing off accuracy close to the end of its effective range
- Big: Due to the size, it is not suitable for small, compact starfighters and potentially limits space on small freighters
- Overheat: As a point defense cannon, the cannon could overheat when firing constantly
- Better in numbers: Alone, the weapon is decent, but it performs much better when used in pairs or clusters
DESCRIPTION
The Model 48 heavy quad-laser cannon was conceived in a project of Maji Ironworks to catch up with lacking products, as well as to establish itself as an independent organization. Designed to work on anything and everything, the Model 48 is an effective weapon for offense and defense on any ship that can support its size and weight.
Another highlight is its attractive price and simplicity in maintenance. Simple systems, basic parts, sturdy design, the quad-cannon is meant to provide its owners with peace of mind and confidence as they journey through the dangerous, big galaxy.
