The Spine Coilgun is one of the two main turrent options for the Ivan Mech.

History

The coilgun uses a series of electro magnets to accelerate it's rounds to high velocities. The bullets are fed into the barrels and are instantly pulled into flight. It makes for a rather rapid fire delivery system. On exit a potassium tracer is ignited giving the bullets their unique violet glow.

Use

Hold down fire to unleash a barrage of bullets. Release it to to stop.

Other Notes

This rapid fire weapon requires a constant line of fire to make it's listed damage per second happen. It can be painful to anything caught without cover and punishing against air units that can't get clear of the stream.
