Kraken

The Kraken is a Heavy-mounted Machine Gun weapon, capable of firing a tight cluster of armor-piercing rods of depleted uranium at a moderate rate of fire and long range.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
The Kraken takes the principle of beehive rounds and applies it on a macro scale. Rather than packing thousands of millimeter width flechettes into a single casing, Kraken rounds stack eight depleted uranium rods into a SABOT, set to a narrow dispersion. These simultaneous impacts inflict a tremendous shearing effect that can punch a hole in all but the hardiest armor.This extremely high muzzle velocity and set of ultra-dense projectiles also grants the Kraken excellent penetrative power, second only to Lorentz force munitions. While that velocity isn't sufficient to 'crack' hardshields the way railgun slugs do, the weapon more than compensates through a much higher rate of fire.-Efi
== Notes & Strategy ==
* Each shot violently hurls a cluster of munitions at the target. Penetration power is great, allowing for quick dispatch of unsuspecting foes from behind most obstructions.
* Shots are capable of piercing enemies.
* It's categorized as long range, but prime damage really is close or medium due to its projectile scatter.
* Like all Machine Gun munitions, having damaged the target's hardshield before opening fire will lead to a more efficient outcome.
* Unlike most Machine Guns, the Kraken makes quick work of Orbital Guns, demolishing one with 2 shots.
