Hi, I need some help making sure this thing is kosher.
What I need are help from all of you to make sure it's components are "balanced". Is the price too high/low, the availability/legality or any other suggestions you might have. Since there are no creation rules for guns I will be basing this weapon on items in the books. I’ll note the one that I use at the top of the entry. Just the base stats will be used, not the accessories, and prices will be based off the base item, Unless the prices are just ridiculous then I will use my judgment. Here ya go.
Yes. It's supposed to sound like a sales brochure.
I'm making up weapons to present to my GM. He decided that my stock portfolio has gained me a good sized interest in a small arms factory. So I'm preparing designs for them. I'll be posting the others soon and would like help there also. thank you all for your time.
Also, none of this art is mine. I found it on the net and modified it when necessary, probably poorly, and is not meant for infringement.
The Tarrasque (Light machine Gun)(Based on the GE Vindicator Minigun from Arsenal pg. 29.)

The Tarrasque, named for the mythological creature known for its destructive capabilities on an absolute scale, lives up to its name.
The mini-gun has always been a feared weapon, from the unique whir it emits when it “spools up” to the swaths of destruction left in its wake. The only thing holding these weapons back is the tremendous amount of recoil these systems inflict upon the user.
In the Tarrasque GI has made a true weapons System. We completely removed most of the moving parts of the gun for a spark firing system. We refit the barrels with XL heavy versions and customized them with a patented Gas venting system. Then we integrated our Stable-Max gyro mount into the gun, along with a hip pad. Together, the Tarrasque System makes THE smoothest firing fully auto weapon on the market today.
Lastly, we improved the "ready time" that former mini-guns had to deal with. With the retooling of the internals to a fully electronic chassis and the DNI interaction of the on board Smartlink, the "Spool Up" time has been reduced to almost an instant on. We have also removed the, heavy, High density Battery core and replaced it with a Peak Discharge pack for easier recharge and longevity in the field. For a truly monstrous showing with this gun, our field testers recommend our new “Diamond Dart” AP flechette ammunition.
(Getting into the Gyro-mount Harness takes 5 minutes. Getting out is a complex action to release the quick release. The spin up time for this weapon is 1 free Action. The Peak discharge pack uses 1 charge per combat round of operation. (no fractions. One action or multiple actions in the round, as long as it is fired once it uses a power point. but only one point per round)
