"We will darken the skies with our arrows!"
The Vars Series cannons are an especially designed fully automatic ballistic weaponry in use specifically for the Sentinel Heavy Tank 'Mech.
Loaded with High-Velocity rounds, upon exiting the barrel the sheer speed of the slug diffuses the gravitational force of drop, allowing the
cannons to have considerable effective range approximating a 700m effective range during combat.
Under stock configuration the VARS cannons have an ammo complement of 600 rounds. firing two rounds per trigger pull at normal operation optimally
offering 300 individual shots per magazine accumulating to well over three minutes of concentrated fire.
Special Notations
Lock Down
when used in conjunction with the Sentinel's lock-down function the firing rate of the VARS doubles, ejecting 4 bullets per trigger pull as well as energizing the slugs heating them upon exit to a red hot, increasing their damage capability. additionally the increased firing rate also increases the cool down of the Sentinel as a whole, and with the increased fire rate and ammunition expenditure, lock-down mode also offers 150 shots per magazine accumulating to 2minutes of concentrated fire.
Veteran Notes
- Beginner greenhorn pilots of the sentinel will find that the VARS cannons are quite versatile as both long and medium range line of sight weapons.
offering both aggressive and defensive tactical possibility.
- The capability of the vars bullets have shown to strike first for long-range engagement even so much as to be able to intercept several kinds of Missile type projectiles out of the air due to its high fire rate.
- Additionally to this effect the high ammo capacity can lay down several sheets of blanketing suppression fire to prevent enemy movement and in some cases cause fleeing 'Mechs to trip or fall down when exposed.
- this is not to say the VARS cannons are the end all be all of weapons, the extreme short range is the VARS failing, once inside the reach of the barrels melee 'Mechs are at full liberty to cause extreme damage, as the length of the barrels prevent any real use of short range combat.
