Description: The Rosebush is a quadruple-barrel autocannon weapon system designed to fire twin-scale AA munitions currently sized at 46x304mm. It fires at approximately four rounds a second per barrel at optimal operating temperature and the barrels are twin-linked to alternate diagonally. It is currently suited to fire three different types of anti-vehicle ammunition, ranging from flak to incendiary to anti-tank, including the versatile armor-eating Umbra I-AT round developed exclusively by RRDI's skunkworks lab. One considerable drawback to the weapon that is completely unavoidable is that it can eat through ammunition relatively quick if sustaining fire. This usually results in feeds being installed which hold a larger stockpile of rounds, all of which take up extra space and add weight to whatever platform is holding the weapon. This usually - though not necessarily - means heavier tanks and underarmed fighters.
(Just to Note: The value on a fighter, for example, would be eight guns (x4 quad, x2 repeating))
