MUZZLE VELOCITY: 3 km/s

PRICE: 10,000 USD/weapon, 1000 USD/quad mount

DESCRIPTION: A standard armored vehicle weapon, mounted in pairs or quads. This weapon is most commonly seen on scout APC as a primary weapon or as secondary weapons on cruiser- and destroyer-class vessels.

ITEM: M46A2 Heavy Naval Kinetic Rifle

PURPOSE: Heavy armor penetration weapon

LENGTH: 15.5 meters

WEIGHT: 200 kg

AMMO TYPE: 130mm Kinetic Penetrator/130mm High Explosive/130mm Anti-Personnel Cluster

AMMUNITION CAPACITY: 50 rounds per box

RATE OF FIRE: 6 rounds per minute

EFFECTIVE RANGE: 100km against surface targets

MANUFACTURER: Haukinge und Nielsen GmbH

IN USE BY: Aralonian Naval Self-Defense Force

ACCESORIES: Independent Targeting System

MUZZLE VELOCITY: 6 km/s

PRICE: 30,000 USD/gun, 5000 USD/triple turret

DESCRIPTION: A heavy cruiser-class weapon, mounted in triples. This weapon is commonly seen on Aralonian heavy cruisers as a primary weapon in triples, and is under consideration for mounting as a primary weapon in singles on destroyer-class vessels. The weapon has incredible armor penetration due to its nature as a hypervelocity coilgun, launching projectiles at high speeds, imparting the projectile's kinetic energy into the armor, which easily defeats it. Datalinked with more accurate fire control systems can allow this weapon to, with calibrated shells, accurately fire projectiles to 200km up.
