SPECIAL FEATURES
Market analysts at the G.W.S. had noticed a trend within the last few months of weapon markets. Close to no minigun, or just simply rotary-guns were being sold or manufactured. Puzzled at this development, the analysts investigated. The investigation led to nothing...save for an ambition to create a rotary cannon. With little blueprints to work off of from previously created rotary-cannons by rival companies or long since dead companies, the experimental weapon division (E.X.W.) at the G.W.S. had to start from scratch...which was fine by them. This allowed them to help revolutionize the mini-gun and the idea of such weapons. They weren’t forced to operate on pre-established terms...they were able to make something new.
Development of the Hellstorm, codenamed ‘Spitfire,’ took months of testing and component production. The E.X.W. just couldn’t get the weapon down to a point, whenever they solved one problem they gained twelve more. At first, the development of the ‘Spitfire’ seemed hopeless and just a failed dream. Until a breakthrough was discovered. The spinning multi-barrel system they had been dreaming of finally had come to fruition at last. After that, the development sped up until they finally had gotten the portable power generator down. It was still an experimental technology and still remains to be...often times malfunction. Though, it still does its job effectively. With the portable generator and multi-barrel system down to almost-perfect standards...they finally revealed to CEO Ruslan what they had been developing. On inspection of the weapon and on the seeing of a live demonstration...Ruslan gave his stamp of approval to begin production of more models.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Iron Sights
Built-in Power Generator
Alternate Version able to be Mounted on Vehicles/Turrets
Incredible Rate of Fire - The Hellstorm can fire up to incredible 1,000 rounds per magazine, to utterly annihilate enemy infantry and lightly-armored vehicles within minutes.
Large Ammo Capacity - The Hellstorm has an utterly massive ammo capacity to help sustain the 1,000 rounds per minute that it can unload onto enemies.
Ultimate Firepower - The Hellstorm can unleash 1,000 rounds in a single magazine, something unseen in modern weapons. The amount of rounds that can be unleashed a second is enough to utterly annihilate some defensive cover while also being able to splinter most types of armor depending on the materials it is made out of and its special features.
Multi-barrel Design - The Multi-barrel design helps to prevent overheating of the Hellstorm and it also helps the mini-gun to unleash it’s slugthrower payload in a merciless and “supersonic” way as said by one notable engineer of the Hellstorm. Truth be told, the Hellstorm can unload rounds in an extremely quick fashion to utterly overwhelmed any opposition into hiding. This also makes the barrels spin.
Long Reload Time - The Hellstorm had a massive ammo capacity, and thus it takes an extremely long time to reload…up to a minute in most cases which can lead to death in the middle of a battle if used by untrained personnel.
High Recoil - The recoil is [SIZE=10pt]nearly[/SIZE] unbearable when using the Hellstorm, though not impossible. When using the Hellstorm, it oftentimes
EMP - The Firestorm relies on many electrical components to function, such as to unleash round after unrelenting round of slugs to allowing the rotary cannon to spin. When an EMP goes off, it disables these systems...leaving the weapon temporarily unresponsive until the systems are manually restarted at the flick of a button. It takes roughly thirty seconds to a minute for the generator to be turned back online, and then for the systems to go back online.
Inaccurate at Range - The Firestorm’s spread increased outwards as the bullet’s travel farther and farther away. This makes the weapon far more effective at close range than longer ranges, where the bullets hit a larger area and the area of impact for the slugs isn’t as highly concentrated.
- Expensive - The Hellstorm doesn't come cheap. The development of the weapon alone took thousands of credits, then there was the manufacturing. The Hellstorm is both expensive in the materials it takes and it's cost, along with the sheer amount of time to fully create a single gun.
- Prone to Overheating - Despite the multi-barrel design, the Hellstorm is still prone to overheating. If shot for a long amount of time without any resting for the barrels, they will overheat and begin to melt, rendering the gun useless. Now, this can be counteracted by firing in bursts.
- Cumbersome - The Hellstorm is heavy and cumbersome. Despite it having handles, it's still quite awkward to hold and to move around with.
