BWE Rotary Chain Gun

The BW-RCG is a rotary chaingun developed by Section 6 in late YE 40. It is now manufactured by Black Wing Enterprises, and fielded by New Dusk Conclave as a frontline heavy weapon.

In late YE 40, Section 6 realized it needed to up their offensive and defensive abilities. One solution created was the S6-RCG, an infantry-portable and vehicle-portable easy emplacement option to provide high damage output on battlefield and home perimeter.

The S6-RCG was developed and run through trials before hitting field use. The battle of the Anvil taught them a valuable lesson on appropriate firepower for defense of key points, and for pushing enemy lines back.

Below is the manufacturer data on the BW-RCG.

• Designer: Section 6
• Manufacturer: Black Wing Enterprises
• Name: BW-RCG
• Nomenclature: Manufacturer - Item designation - Model || S6-HW-1A
• Type: Ballistic/Plasma/Explosive
• Role: Heavy anti-personnel/Armor Weapon

The S6-RCG has a very boxy rectangular body and an elevated sight mount, doubling as a handle for armor units. There is a rear grip with electric trigger, and a forward secondary grip. In the front is the weapon's rotary barrel assembly, which consists of four barrels that are braced with metal rings. The barrels are sturdy within the brace and prevent barrel warping.

Below is discharge information:

• Muzzle Flash (Standard): Brief yet bright orange burst of escaping gases. Exits the barrel in a plume shape.
• Muzzle Flash (Plasma Bullets): Brief yet very bright blue burst of escaping gases. Exits the barrel in an almost spike shape.
• Muzzle Flash (Plasma): Bright blue flash with the visible release of static charge.
• Muzzle Flash (Starfire): None.
• Muzzle Flash (Grenade): None.
• Retort (Standard): Loud crack as the bullet leaves the barrel.
• Retort (Plasma bullets: Loud crack as the bullet leaves the barrel.
• Retort (Plasma): High pitched pew sound as the plasma is discharged from the barrel.
• Retort (Starfire): A loud thump.
• Retort (Grenade): A loud thump.
• Projectile/Beam Appearance (Standard): Feint orange tracer effect to the round in mid-flight.
• Projectile/Beam Appearance (Plasma bullet): Bright blue tracer effect to the round in mid-flight.
• Projectile/Beam Appearance (Plasma): A bright bolt of blue followed by a trail of distorted air from super heating of said air.
• Projectile/Beam Appearance (Grenade): The grenades themselves are visible in mid-flight.
• Effective Range 500 yards / 457.2 meters
• Recoil: All calibers face unsteady and erratic accuracy do to steadily building recoil. The spin of the barrels only counters this so much, and together cause the user's aim to shift in a circular pattern.

Speeds at which rounds are fired based on ammo type used.

Weapon mechanisms, integral to any weapon, are seen below:

• Firing Mechanism: Its four alloy barrels are spun by a motor that is built into the top of the weapon. The feeding system for the bulk ammo box magazine is linked to that of the action, which in turn is synced to the motor. This ensures that the round is not fired when the barrel is not aligned, and that rounds are stripped into the chamber in pace with the barrels spin. The bullet is fired from the bottom barrel, and due to being motorized, prone to overheating if fired to long. Alternatively, there is a modification system that replaces the standard barrels with magnetic railed barrels. This is required for firing the S6-SCPR(50cal EM) to arm the shells, and Sutafaia Fusion Shell (.50 caliber) to direct the discharged plasma.
• Loading: The RCG is belt fed, either by hand, ammo backpack, or box\drum magazine.
• Mode Selector: The weapon only switches from fire to safe, which is set by whether if the electric motor is switched on, or off.
• Firing Modes: The RCG only goes full auto, firing continuously as long as the trigger is depressed.
• Safety Mechanism: The grip has a Biometric safety, locking the weapon if the user is not registered. If the smart targeting system is equipped, then the weapon will be digitally locked if being attempted to fire on a friendly target.
• Weapon Sight: Either iron sights consisting of a pair of sight rings. One in front, and one in back above the motor. Alternatively a digital smart targeting system is an option. It can be set to night vision, or IR. Tracking software marks and tracks sighted targets, and can be linked to the user's power armor.
• Attachment Hard Points: Top of the receiver, and a mounting on the motor for a shield plate of up Tier 3 heavy anti-personnel, providing limited protection from incoming fire from the front. In addition, the RCG can be put on a swivel gun mount commonly used for gun replacements. It locks onto most of said mounts via attach mounting on the weapon's underside.
