This has been bugging me all day, but I SWEAR I've seen the point-d vulcan model in another game. The rotating aspect of the barrel, and the general design. I KNOW that I know it from somewhere. 

Anyone recall seeing the same weapon model in an older game?

 

Nothing pressing, but it's been bugging me.

the farthammer is based off of the m134 minigun, which can trace its roots back to the civil war era gatling gun.


I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

Heh, why do they call it a Point-D(efence) Vulcan... when it's on a mech? Point defence = a turret, defending an area from a fixed position, hence the 'point'. 

 

Bleh, devs were drunk when they named that one, good old Adhesive...

According to the lore, the Point-D was first used to defend static defences and structures from missiles by shooting with lots and lots of bullets, which is the exact same thing it does now, but to mechs.

Ah, that would make sense- nothing like ripping a gun from its mount and bolting to your mech. 

 

I just realised how much I miss the videos Adhesive used to upload, showing the story and tactics of each mech. I'd like to see those videos return one day...

The most prolific use of a gatling gun was phalanx CIWS - close in weapon system. It uses the gatling gun to make a wall of bullets to take down missiles coming at warships. Otherwise know as "point defense".

Damn thing looks like r2d2 with a hardon.

The better question is what would give R2D2 a hardon?

This one. I know I've seen that design. The rotating section gets me. I remember thinking it didn't make sense when I saw it the first time.

One of my all time favourite rotary 'cannons', besides the Gau 8...
