Seems like a catch-all secondary gun that also could be a primary APC weapon. Does it all; infantry, vehicles, aerial threats, etc.

For a secondary weapon to be this powerful (and that's based on text, not even the DR) feels a little too OP. Can this be taken down a peg? Infantry obviously don't stand a chance, but with the ROF combined with the power, neither does practically anything else.
 
For clarity, let me say that this thing, even at it's reduced RoF, will drop 20 shots of ADR4 on a target in literally 1 second. That's utterly ridiculous amounts of damage.
 
I don't have convincing arguments to reject this submission, based on the DR or anything else. This doesn't even set new precedent.

This is the sort of weapon I always hate to see submitted, and how it feels like it uses the current DR scheme to create pure war machines that suggest PvP is on the horizon.

Even so, the submission falls within guidelines, is well written and is convincing in its arguments as to why it should exist.

Approved.
 
Going to bolt on an 'operations' section depicting how the weapon typically operates including firing modes, cool down phases, and how long it can sustain fire.
