Corey77 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 It may be an OCD thing but selling a cheeseburger without the cheese isn't a cheeseburger. Why do heavy turrets have 24 barrels if they only shoot 4 at a time? Wouldn't it look better with just 4 barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as a high tech version of a gattling gun, except that instead of just firing one of it's multiple barrels at a time, if fires 4 at a time in sequence.

PhilNGraves Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 My old T134 on my blackhawk in the army had 6 barrels, and only one fired at a time... More barrels means higher fire rate and more time for non firing barrels to cool. After changing a hot barrel on a browning M-2, I highly appreciate more barrels... talk about a bag-o-suck.

waterKeeper Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think they gave the heavy turret 24 barrels because the the regular auto turret has 6 barrels. And I guess that supposed to account for the 4x rof. But I still agree with the op, it' too many barrels on a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok for cooling that makes it sound way more reasonable. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see that simplifies it and the rest can cool, would be way to broken if all 24 fired at once anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
