**Light Machinegun Turret (PL 6)**

The light machine gun is a small caliber, rapid-fire Cannon used mostly for antipersonnel purposes. It has a lower damage potential than other vehicle mounted weapons, but has a vastly increased rate of fire that makes the light machine gun expensive to field. The 7.7 mm territorial arms MGU-77 machine gun is a typical light machine gun used by the spitting cobra gear. Infantry men have learned to fear this gun as "the death buzzer" because of the high pitch sound makes when fired.

**Heavy Machinegun Turret (PL 6)**

The heavy machine gun is a bigger a machinegun with a larger caliber. This allows it to cause more damage, but at the cost of a slightly lower rate of fire. HMGs are also sturdier than LMG. A typical HMG is the 10 mm northco GU-10 Gatling unit.

**Light Autocannon Turret (PL 6)**

Light Auto cannons are popular weapons because they are rugged, simple to design and inexpensive to field. Most come in the form of gear sized rifles which use Clipper belt-fed ammunition. They are mounted in the turret and Hall of several armored vehicles as secondary weapons.

**Medium Autocannon Turret (PL 6)**

Medium autocannons the next most popular gear weapons. Caliber and barrel length are both increased at the cost of the high rate of fire, resulting in higher damage and range.

**Heavy Autocannon Turret (PL 6)**

A large rapid loading automatic Cannon, the heavy autocannon is often the main Armament of light tanks and heavier gear models most of the weapons mass is taken up by the barrel (or barrels as many heavy autocannons follow a Gatling like setup) and a large autoloading system. Although most of the handheld gear variations are clip-fed, heavy autocannons are generally belt-fed.

**Light Field Gun Turret (PL 6)**

Unlike Auto cannons, field guns do not have any rapid-fire capacity. They make up for it with a long-range and higher hitting power. Most advanced hyperkinetic penetrator (AHKP) technology, with a secondary burn stage and molecular aligned shaped alloy tips.

**Heavy Field Gun Turret (PL 6)**

The heavy field gun is a large gun capable of crippling or destroying an armored Target in one shot. It is much too heavy to be carried by gears and often constitutes the main Armament of Battle Tanks. Heavy field guns use some of the most powerful types of gel propellants, sometimes relying on binary liquid compound injection for primary projectile acceleration.

**Snub Cannon Turret (PL 6)**

The snub Cannon is a heavy Auto loading cannon with a Smooth Bore and a short or medium Barrel. It is mostly used for Demolition and tank hunting purposes. It's heavy ammo can transfer massive amounts of kinetic energy at short range, but with little accuracy.

**Fragmentation Cannon Turret (PL 6)**

The fragmentation Cannon is the cousin of the snow Cannon. Its function is to provide high accuracy Firepower at close quarters; the gun usually fires fragmentation ammunition to increase the chance of a solid hit.

**Anti-Personnel Mortar (PL 6)**

The anti-personnel mortar is a small caliber mortar for use against opposing infantry units. Its indirect fire capability and explosive charge or very effective for the task, allowing a vehicle to clear a path without and gain during itself too much. The blast usually covers a radius of nearly 25 meters.

**Special:** Mortars fire in an indirect arch over the target. As such a mortar does not need line of site and ignores cover, however the person firing the mortar dose need to know the location of their target.

**Light Guided Mortar (PL 6)**

The lake guarded mortar is Aloha losty cannon that lives with warheads and arcing overhead trajectory. The WarHeads have some limited control over their flight path through small fins that extend from the back of the shell once it clears the barrel. Using the laser seeking sensor on the tip the projectile can be directed to a Target eliminated by friendly spotting unit with a Target designator.

**Special:** Mortars fire in an indirect arch over the target. As such a mortar does not need line of site and ignores cover, however the person firing the mortar dose need to know the location of their target.

**Heavy Guided Mortar (PL 6)**

The HGM is a heavy vehicle mounted mortar design for range and defensive power. It's shells are guided into their target by an Allied Target designator, vastly increasing the probability of a hit.

**Special:** Mortars fire in an indirect arch over the target. As such a mortar does not need line of site and ignores cover, however the person firing the mortar dose need to know the location of their target.

**A.P.G.L. Anti-Personnel Grenade Launcher (PL 6)**

Also translated as all-purpose grenade launcher, the AP GL is a generic code for short-range, small payload, love lost city cannons. They're mostly used to launch antipersonnel grenades hence the designator, but can be loaded with any of the small grenade types such as smoke, gas, Etc. The standard antipersonnel load covers an area of nearly 25 M in a radius with deadly shrapnel.

**Light Rocket Pack (PL 6)**

Light rocket packs are loaded with little more than explosive charges sitting on top of a rocket motor. A small chip controls the fens allowing minimal flight control. They're not very accurate, but make up for it by saturating the Target area.

Medium Rocket Pack Medium rocket packs similar to light rocket packs. They simply use larger Rockets, which allow each projectile to carry a bigger Warhead and more fuel for a longer range.

**Medium Rocket Pack (PL 6)**

A medium rocket pack carries medium sized rockets that make it even happy medium.

**Heavy Rocket Pack (PL 6)**

Heavy rocket packs use some of the largest unguided rockets on the battlefield. They are most often used for fire support and area saturation. The weapon occupies most of the back of the vehicle on which it is mounted and is fired over head and an arcing trajectory.

**Light Grenade Launcher Turret (PL 6)**

The light grenade launcher fills the battlefield gap between the direct fire autocannons and field guns and the direct fire guided mortars. Although not very accurate, the weapon offers good Firepower. It is also very versatile since it can fire a variety of grenades. The 60 mm direct Fire Grenade Launcher made by Ankerson works (a subsidiary of Northco) is a fully automatic grenade rifle designed to be handheld by most heavy gears. It stores the grenades and a drum shaped ammo clip which is quick to replace and reload.

**Heavy Grenade Launcher Turret (PL 6)**

A larger version of the light grenade launcher, this weapon packs of considerable punch and a good rate of fire at the cost of accuracy. The heavy grenade launcher can also for pellets grenades much further than its smaller brother. The grenades used can be of several different types. Unfortunately, because of the grenades larger size, the ammunition capacity is often quite small.
