If they had that kind of technology, there wouldn't be a war on for Hoover Damn or Helios-One.  Dynamo everything electrical in nature.

As I'm rather insane in my preparation for emergency situations (I used to live on a fault line, now I live on a flood plane in what is pretty close to the Murder Capital of Canada.  Someday, I think I'll move somewhere SAFE!), I have quite a few items designed to work off dynamo or other self-generated power, and it's not an easy thing.

Which reminds me, I need a stationary bicycle, an alternator, and some car batteries.  Thank you Soylent Green for that idea!

Yeah.... Microfusion cells... Lets break that word down... Micro, meaning very small... And fusion, a nuclear reaction intended for bombs and generating massive amounts of energy. Usually through the heat generated turning a set amount of water into steam, and the steam turning turbines hooked to a dynamo to create electricity. So, essentially it's a very tiny nuclear power plant in each cell... Which doesn't make sense. But, it's a game, so meh. If they had that, some awesome gyros, and some myomer bundles... Create a mech that would take out liberty 1 in a single PPC shot...

I liked the YPK-1056 rifle (or whatever the hell the thing was called). 4x Microfusion cells per shot. With 4xOC/Maxxed MF cells, that thing was pretty damned scary....

I want to get back to double-barreled assault cannons now.

I wish they had included rules for multi-barrelled weapon mods.  A Gatling style assault cannon would be sweeeet.

There is no overkill.

Didn't we cover this idea earlier in the thread?

Hey, they wanted to get back on track.  I still want my rotary assault cannon.

Ooooo...I just had a thought!  Rotary grenade launcher!

Rotary gauss rifle!

Dear gods... The power required for a rotary gauss rifle would be... Stupid ridiculous...

Which is why it's mounted on the USS Colin Powell!  ;D

Why would someone NEED that much firepower... Against what enemy would you require something that could turn an aircraft carrier into razor blades in ten seconds?

Speaking of aircraft carriers... A lot of people seem to think you need to sink an aircraft carrier... Untrue... All you have to do is screw up the flight deck a bit, maybe scrag the elevators, and that thing has to go back into drydock for months before it sees action again. Hell, screwing up the cavitation of the props is enough to send almost any ship to drydock for long enough to do some nefarious shadowrunning that you want the ship out of the way for... They operate on skeleton crew in drydock, and you can be damned sure the plane squadrons aren't going to be sitting onboard while it's in there.

So, I really don't see a REASON for a rotary gauss rifle at all, then. A couple exocets does the job cleaner...

It's not about needing...  It's about having it when the opposition doesn't.  :P

That, and a Troll General needs to overcompensate for something, so it's ordered and made.

...

Also, it'd look damned cool in Desert Wars!

Missiles can be spoofed or shot down.  Kinetic kill munitions don't care about EW and are too small and dense to be easily knocked off course.
