Cost	Description
Cost: x.28 total cost of MS Space: Combined weapon and ammunition space cost	The VULCAN Close-In Weapons System (CIWS - pronounced "sea-whiz") is a fast-reaction, rapid-fire gun system that provides mobile suits with a terminal defense against missiles. Designed to engage missiles and fixed-wing aircraft at short range, VULCAN automatically engages functions usually performed by separate, independent systems such as search, detection, threat evaluation, acquisition, track, firing, target destruction, kill assessment and cease fire. VULCAN is a point-defense, total-weapon system consisting of two cross-linked gun mounts that provide a terminal defense against incoming air targets. VULCAN, without assistance from other systems, will automatically engage incoming missiles and high-speed, low-level aircraft that have penetrated the mobile suits primary defense envelope. As a unitized system, VULCAN automatically performs search, detecting, tracking, threat evaluation, firing, and kill assessments of targets while providing the pilot the option of manual override. Each gun mount houses a fire control assembly and a gun subsystem. The fire control assembly is composed of a search Phased Array RADAR for surveillance, detection, and tracking of hostile targets while aligning the gun towards target. The unique closed-loop fire control system tracks both the incoming target and the stream of outgoing projectiles giving VULCAN the capability to correct its aim to hit fast-moving targets, including ASMs. If a rocket, missile, or aircraft approaches within the effecive range of a VULCAN-weapon (see below), the system will detect it 90% of the time (2-10 on a 1D10). Once detected, an interception will be made; However the VULCAN system can be confused by multiple projectiles. Roll 1D10 for each missile detected, with a -1 per missile over 1: a 4+ safely destroys the projectile, 1-3 detonates the rocket/missile its burst range (1/2 damage), on 0 or less, VULCAN failed the interception, and the rocket/missile attacks as normal.

The weapon has a maximum rate of fire from 750-800 rounds per minute (500-650 rounds per minute desired). A 50 round per minute burst restriction allows the gun to fire a maximum of one 50-round burst or a maximum of five 10-round bursts in a given 60 second period. Any combination of bursts is permissible as long as only 50 rounds are fired in a 60 second period. 12.7mm Gatling 0 7D6+4H(3) 250 550m 3 AutoCannon BV14 The gun subassembly consists of a rotating cluster of three barrels firing 12.7mm projectile using heavy-metal (either tungsten or depleted uranium) penetrators surrounded by a steel casing. The gatling gun fires 12.7mm ammunition at either 800 or 1,600 rounds-per-minute with a continuous length burst, 90, or 180 rounds. 14.5mm HMG 0 7D6+6H(4) 2000 500m 3 Machine-Fire BV5 The 14.5mm HMG is a recoil-operated, fully automatic weapon which fires from the open-bolt position. Metallic non-disintegrating link belts, coupled together in 10-round sections, can feed it either from the left or the right of the receiver. The quick-change barrel is removable with the barrel jacket as a unit. The bore is chromium-plated to increase barrel life. The weapon fires the FSU 14.5 x 114-mm cartridge. The 14.5mm HMG has a maximum effective range of 1400 meters. 20mm AutoCannon 0 8D6+4H(4) 1000 1500m 2 Machine-Fire BV13 The 20mm AutoCannon, has a single barrel with an integrated link-belt feed mechanism and remote ammunition selection. The standard rate of fire is 130 rounds per minute, and has a range of 1,500 meters. 20mm Gatling 0 8D6+4H(4) 2000 500m 3 AutoCannon BV18 The gun subassembly consists of a rotating cluster of six barrels. The gatling gun fires a 20mm subcaliber sabot projectile using a heavy-metal (either tungsten or depleted uranium) 15mm penetrator surrounded by a plastic sabot and a light-weight metal casing. The gatling gun fires 20mm ammunition at either 4,000 or 6,000 rounds-per-minute with a continuous length burst, 90, or 180 rounds. 25mm Chain Gun 0 8D6+6H(4) 1000 2000m 3 Machine-Fire BV15 The 25mm Chain Gun, has a single barrel with an integrated dual-feed mechanism and remote ammunition selection. Either armor piercing (AP) or high explosive (HE) ammunition may be selected with the flick of a switch. The Gunner may select from single or multiple shot modes. The standard rate of fire is 150 rounds per minute, and has a range of 2,000 meters (depending on the ammunition used). A wide range of ammunition has been developed for this weapon, making it capable of defeating the majority of armored vehicles it is likely to encounter, up to and including some main battle tanks. 30mm Gatling 0 9D6+6H(5) 1000 2500m 3 AutoCannon BV23 the 30mm Gatling fires 1,800 rounds per minute, and is capable of firing a mix of both high explosive incendiary (HEI) and armored piercing incendiary (API) ammunition.

Requirement	Description
Actuation Binder or Mounting Point Contruction Modification: x1.7 total MS cost	The Heat Hark is a weapon that uses electricity to create molecular agitation which causes the vibration of atoms through a series of coils which are embedded within the material surface of its blade to create a tremendous friction which super-heats any material the blade comes to contact with. The weapon can be charged by diverting some of the electrical output from the Thermonuclear generators, this electrical power is then stored within batteries located in the weapons handle when the weapon is attached to the mounting point. During combat the batteries discharge quickly to power up the weapon but due to the large amount of energy required to power the weapon for sustained periods of time engineers designed power couplings in the base of the mobile suits manipulators to transmit electrical power directly to the weapon while it is in use during combat. The maximum damage generated by the weapon is equivocal to the maximum generator output for the mobile suits thermonuclear reactor. (See Thermonuclear Reactor)

While airborne the pilot would then initialize the Jet pack's engines which would ignite to provide the suit with additional thrust power in order to achive extended flight.
