- Heavy Firepower: Being chambered in a variety of cannon calibers and being fully automatic, while also having access to the Large Caliber Ammunition Line, the VESMAC-01 can lay down a flurry of heavy firepower
- Not for a Single Person: Due to its extremely heavy and extremely large nature of the VESMAC-01 it can only be used mounted in emplaced positions, inside ships or armored vehicles and must be operated by a crew or with infrastructure in a vehicle
In an another attempt to yet again diversify the selection of the weapons they have on offer the design team at Hekler'Kok began work on a auto-cannon that could be mounted in emplaced positions on in vehicles or ships. After some deliberation on what exact kind of weapon they would design it was decided in the end that a auto-cannon would be the best idea, having a good amount of stopping with a concurrent rate of fire.
As with all the weapons that the design team at Hekler'Kok constructs they first began by choosing what caliber the weapon would be chambered in. While many debates were had as to what was the best auto-cannon caliber for the weapon it was decided in the end to create four separate models chambered in four different calibers. The decided calibers were 25mm, 30mm, 35mm and 40mm.
With the caliber, or calibers in this case, decided on the design team began work on choosing the materials they would use in the construction of the weapon. For the receiver and internal mechanisms they stayed with their go to material, a Titanium-Alusteel Alloy known for its durability despite being relatively lightweight. For the only other component, the barrel, they used Dallorian Alloy due to its high heat resistance that helps prevent overheating from repeated firing.
Lastly they came to the process of enhancing the weapon by adding in features that would do just that. The first was a linkless ammunition feeding system that cuts down on waste and also allows more ammo to be stored in the same sized containers as linked ammunition. An integrated targeting computer helps the user with aiming the weapon at target at longer ranges that typical. A variable mounting bracket allows the weapon to be mounted in a wide variety of ways from anti-aircraft type mounts to on vehicles and ships. Magnetic accelerator coils at the base of the weapons barrel increases its range by increasing the velocity of the rounds when fired. Finally an optional muzzle brake or flash guard prevents upward muzzle climb or blinding by muzzle flash respectively.
