Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.)
Devastating damage - while it's damage is almost the same as the Z6 used in the clone wars and the galactic empire. It's damage comes from the amount it shoots at once and capable of tearing someone's torso apart or making holes in enemy light vehicles. Will take more time to damage something with medium armor.
Spray ‘n’ pray - the Very cannon has a high rpm meaning it shoots incredibly fast. This helps cuts down enemies faster than they can appear.
Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)
Recoil - even been mounted the guns recoil makes it hard to shoot accurately at a target. Luckily accuracy isn't a need when you shoot so much plasma.
Overheat prevention - due to it's fast firing rate the gun will start to get hotter and hotter as it spins. After around 200 shots the gun will automatically stop shooting and activate it's heat vents to cool down. This takes roughly 30s.
Description: The Veru Cannon is a long and heavy laser cannon. It has right barrels that rotate at incredible speeds giving it's high rpm. The gun has been designed to be mounted and can be fixed to buildings and vehicles as a man operated or droid operated weapon. The Weapon has been designed after the Z6 Cannon that had served it's long life span from the clone wars to the end of the galactic empire. While this one cannot be carried around like they could it works well for defense for structures or holding an area and for the use on vehicles.
It's high rpm does have drawbacks. When shooting the gun it will have a tendency to make the aim a little shaky meaning it is hard to shoot in a straight line. It also overheats around 200 rounds but to prevent it melting a safety has been installed to stop the weapon shooting to cool off before it's next series of shots. The safety can be overridden but is not advised due to the safety of the operator and the functionality of the weapon it's self. If it was to be fired with no safety any point after 200 shot the weapon will either melt or potentially explode.
