- Directly connects to pilots (Or SIOs) HUD, the cannon fires where the aviator looks
- MULTITASK - When activated, the weapon opens up from its port and begins firing until deactivated. No need to control it manually.
- ICU - When activated, these cannons fire exactly where the aviator's HUD Reticle locks onto.
- FRIENDLY FIRE? - Not an automatic concern, but be careful if "Friendlies" are in the area, this does not have an IFF.
- ALL OR NOTHING - When the FGA-43 is online no other weapons can be fired.
- NOT THE MOST POTENT - Make no mistake, the FGA-43 is destructive, but it is not as potent as a Rotary slugthrower. It can be considered "a defensive weapon" meant to get opponents into an angle you want them to be.
Guardian Authority Ltd. is partially headed up by a former fighter pilot, taking a tried and true ship weapon design just a little further, the designers of the FGA-43 believed that there is a viable use and need for a blaster cannon that can "shoot where you see".
