GAU-8A Avenger Weapons Turret (x2):
The last weapon to be added to the Peregrine Falcon Gunship is a pair
of power assisted GAU-8A Avenger gun turrets. The same heavy cannon
mounted in the nose of the A-10 Warthog, the GAU-8A is the largest,
heaviest gatling cannon in the Department of Defense’s inventory.
The GAU-8A’s of the Peregrine fires armor piercing 30mm rounds,
capable of penetrating heavy tank armor in a single round (in most
cases). The pair of GAU-8A’s are mounted on power-assisted turrets
to allow the gunners easy and smooth movement while firing. The gun
turrets are mounted on the rear of the Peregrine, and are capable of
firing straight back through to 110 degrees to the side (providing
both turrets with a 220 degree arc of fire). As well as being able to
fire in a +15 degree to –60 degree arc of fire.
- Purpose:
Anti-Armor.
- Weight:
1,500.0 lbs (681.0 kg) per turret, for a total weight of 3,000.0 lbs
(1,362.0 kg).
- Damage:
4D6 *10 per round!
- Rate
of Fire:
Each turret is fully automatic and capable of singe shots, bursts,
sprays and ‘wild fire’, see modern combat rules for details. Each
pull of the trigger counts as one melee action of the gunner. Each
turret is individually manned, and con not fire simultaneously at one
target. Each gunner can target the same enemy, but each uses a melee
action to attack.
- Effective
Range:
11,000.0 feet (3,355.0 m).
- Payload:
Each turret has a ammunition drum containing 1,152 rounds, for a total
of 2,304 rounds. Each drum requires tools and a field mechanic or
ammunition specialist to rearm. The drums can be reloaded in about 20
minutes (each) and are a fixed part of the aircraft; they cannot be
swapped out.

TThe FFAR
rocket pod, which stands for Folding Fin Aerial Rocket System is a
multiple rocket launch system that allows planes and helicopters
to carry a large number of dumb-fire rockets into combat. Where
missiles use guidance systems to accurately strike targets, the
FFARS relies on the pilot/gunners skills. However the tradeoff is
that instead of carrying a few missiles, a FFARS pod can carry up to
19 rockets total. Many vehicles are equipped with two pods
allowing them to saturate an area with rockets.
