DESCRIPTION
After the Csilla campaing and the encounter with the war engines of the Tech-War Hosts of Vandemar, the engineers of the Rim-Guard Order were tasked with developing weapons to be carried by a heavy-tank-grade wardroid. The result was the development of a set of weaponry together with the Dreadnought Wardroid.

The Gatling Blaster was one of the first weapons to be developed. The need for directly firing artillery was incorperated with the development of a heavy autocannon and a six-barrelled solution was brought up. This would dramatically increase the rate of fire without fear of overheating while maintain a good shell velocity. The possibility to carry multiple ammunition types made the weapon a lot more versatile than a simple blaster or laser cannon. High-Explosive (HE) shells would provide artillery firepower, Armor-Penetration (AP) shells would stamp holes into every armour and short-fused armor-penetration-high-explosive shells (APHE), a combo of the two previous for the destruction of lightly armored targets.
