2005-02-16 IG Dreadnaught

When Mars designed the weapons of my IG Dread they were to be a combination of the mass fire ideology of the Imperial Guard and rapid fire of a Gatling gun. This weapon was not an anti-armor weapon. This weapon only fires a little higher power beam than the stander hellgun.

This weapon does engage with a greater rate of fire, equaling the single shot of a squad of 10 men. The down side of such a rapid firing weapon is the accuracy of the weapon leaves little to be desired. The weapon usually can hit with its first shot the second coming close the following shots will start to drift according to the dispersal dice.



The barrel melt down factor is dispersed among the six electrically spun barrels. The power is dispersed among three quick charge batteries on the side of the weapon. This design is a known problem with the weapon. Reducing the number of quick charge and release batteries reduces the firing rate of the weapon. Two batteries reduce the rate to 6 shots one batter is only 3 and no batteries reduces the shooting rate to one.



The entire power plant is housed in the back of the IG Dread. This is a G7 fusion power plant housed in an armored shell.
