Railguns(Knight Hawks)
RailgThese cannon use parallel sets of magnetic rails to hurl relatively small-caliber, steel-depleted uranium alloy projectiles at relativistic speeds to wreak damage comparable to laser and particle weapons.
Heavy Railgun(HRG): Accelerates heavy-caliber projectiles to relativistic speeds, causing substansially more damage than a disruptor or heavy laser cannon, while requiring less space than either one.
MHS:5, HDR: 4D10, Range: 15 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: FF,LTD(20 100-round bursts), Volume: 60 cubic meters, Cost: Cr 25,000
Railgun(RG): Accelerates medium-caliber projectiles to relativistic speeds, causing slightly more damage than a laser cannon, while requiring less space.
MHS:4, HDR: 3D10, Range: 10 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: FF, LTD(30 100-round bursts), Volume: 30 cubic meters, Cost: Cr 22,500.
Railgun Battery(RGB): A battery of dual-mounted small-caliber railguns.
MHS:3, HDR: 2D10, Range: 8 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: LTD(50 2,000-round bursts), Volume: 20 cu. meters, Cost: Cr 17,000.
Railgun Pod(RGP):A gunpod containing a small-caliber railgun. Used by fightercraft and bombers.
MHS:1, HDR: 1d10, Range: 8 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: LTD(25 2,000-round bursts), Volume: 10 cu. meters, Cost: Cr 8,500.
Fragmentation Cannon(KH)
Like their man-portable cousins, spacecraft-mounted fragmentation cannon fire railgun projectiles which explode into hundreds of fragments of shrapnel(shrap).Shrap from a frag cannon affects the targeted hex and the six hexes immediately surrounding it, as per the diagram below:
All ships within the targeted area suffer the damage listed for the frag weapon in question.
There are three types of spacecraft frag cannon:
Frag Cannon(FRC): Fires heavy-caliber frag rounds.
MHS:5, HDR: 4D10, Range: 7 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: FF,LTD(9 100-round bursts), Volume: 60 cubic meters, Cost: Cr 37,500
Frag Cannon Battery(FRB): A battery of quad-mounted small-caliber frag cannon, commonly used in point-defense.
MHS:4, HDR: 1D10, Range: 5 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: LTD(20 1,000-round bursts), Volume: 25 cu. meters, Cost: Cr 30,000.
Fragmentation Cannon Gunpod(FGP):A gunpod containing a small-caliber frag cannon.
MHS:5, HDR: 4D10, Range: 7 hexes, DTM: -10, Restrictions: FF,LTD(9 100-round bursts), Volume: 60 cubic meters, Cost: Cr 37,500
