Strengths:
* It is a Gatling Shotgun with a 1000 round a min rate of fire - What else do you need?
Weaknesses:
* Heavy - So heavy in fact it can only be used comfortably by naturally strong races like Wookiees
* Inaccurate - Weapon is made to lay down fire, aiming is optional... and hard to do (this is no sniper rifle)
* Kicks like a @#$@ - So ya when you have 6 shotgun barrels laying down fire at 1000 rounds a min, there is a bit of recoil.
* Can empty ammo in 18 seconds on full auto.
Description: Needing a weapon that could make short work of enemy boards while ensuring that those using it didn't pierce the hull of the ships he commanded Cody Bantam created a rather low tech but a highly effective weapon. Combining the stopping power of a shotgun with the rate of fire of a mini gun. The result is this baby being noted.
Designed for tight areas and low to medium armored enemies it is able to decimate large numbers of enemy troops and borders in a matter of seconds. This weapon can also be loaded with buckshot for smaller targets as well. This weapon is usually limited to use in short bursts and loses effectiveness after 50 meters and us normally either spindle mounted or carried by a naturally strong or augmented race.
