Dominator-Class Anti-Aircraft/Missile Rail Cannon:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Overview:
The DCAAMRC was originally designed for the destruction of any asteroids or space debris that could have fallen to Earth during the periods of 2024 AD and 2067 when a large meteor shower was predicted to strike Earth, this of course was proven false.
In later years, war sparked. The people of Dephire needed to find a weapon that would bring people to their knees. They needed something brutal, yet sophisticated enough to be nearly unbeatable. What they found were the capabilities of these cannons.
Some people have speculated that these cannons can shoot a fly from fourteen thousand miles away, along with anything else in five miles. This of course is not entirely true.
Armour Specifications;
These cannons were not only to be built to destroy, but built to withstand alot of brutal attacks.
Twenty inches of carbon armour incase each gun. After the carbon is a shell of solid titanium. Four inches further goes straight to another layer of solid carbon.
This gives it a semi-light design for higher manuverability in scenarios when things get hairy.
Size/Shape Specifications;
Any gun the size of a small frigate could scare anyone.
Barrel Length:
Approx. 300ft.
Barrel Width:
Approx. 20ft.
Caliber:
Approx. 1200mm (If this is too out of porportion, please help me adjust.)
Range:
20-3750 Miles (Ground to Ground)
2-4000 (Ground to Air) ((That's the With a fused shell))
1-5000 (Ground to Sea) ((The One mile is a minimum, Safety Reasons))
Firing Specifications/Statistics;
The DCAAMRC takes thirty seconds to lock onto a target, remarkable for it's size. It can also fire at an rate of five shells per minute. Slow, but given the shell's capabilities, it is effective none-the-less.
Safety Precautions;
Don't stand within a hundred feet without proper saftey gear on. (Trust us. You don't want to be deaf, do you?)
Shells;
Explodes-On-Impact Shell-
This is mostly used in Ground to Ground and Ground to Sea barrages. Damage ranges from fragmentation to vaporization. There is a Two mile fragmentation range, and a five hundred feet vaporization range.
Anti-Ship Shell-
This shell is basically the same as an Anti-Tank shell, in otherwords, it's soul purpose is to destroy Naval Ships.
Explodes-In-Air Shell-
Also known as an Anti-Air shell or a Flak shell. When the fuse detonates the charge, it sends a sonic boom powerful enough to rip apart any aircraft within a two hundred feet range of the blast. Any aircraft within two thousand feet outside that range is severly damaged.
Prices;
Dominator-Class Cannon: $ 1,050,000,000 (1.05 Billion U.S. Dollars)
StoneHenge-Class Cannon*: $ 200,000,000 (Two Hundred Million U.S. Dollars)
*The StoneHenge-Class Cannon is roughly one-fourth the size of the Dominator-Class Cannon. It was developed for the same purpose as the DC Cannon, but for smaller objects. The SHCC was the first cannon thought to be used in times of war, the DCC was then later thought of to be more potent, and was then used more often.
One DCC can replace Four SHCC's.
