The Hardsell Coilcannon is a gatling style coilgun. It both was designed in and begun production during YE 40. It is a relatively simple but reliable design, made to shave off pea sized chunks of tungsten and accelerate them to about twice the speed of sound
The Hardsell was designed in YE 40 by Osman Heavy Industries to serve as a weapon on their first combat mecha.
Outside of whatever machine it is mounted in, the hardsell is very simple looking. It has four barrels mounted onto the end of an ammunition tank, where the block of ammunition is stored.
Ammunition is available in 2000 round blocks which go for 200 KS each.
Tungsten is the ideal candidate for the ammunition because of its high melting point. This is important because in an atmospheric environment, most lesser metals would melt or burn up from shock heating after exiting the barrel of the weapon. While this is not applicable in exo-atmospheric environments, it was decided that tungsten be used for the sake of simplicity.
