'Claymore' Chaingun Tank (Vanilla)

Description
MORE CLANG!
This time: A tank, propelled by clangy tracks (they won't clang out, don't worry) armed with a weapon consisting of clang, doing damage by clanging.

The manual is in the cockpit and the video should do an ok-ish job of explaining what this thing does. One note though:
!! Don't fire with the weapon down while moving !! It's okay while standing still.

The weapon is restricted to burst fire of one second, it can fire each 5 gameticks, so theoretically this thing could do 720 rounds per minute, but that would become highly volatile. It does damage by shifting rotorheads inside grids, which then, after some time, start clanging out and doing damage. A hit with this weapon should kill characters like spiders, wolves or engineers immediately, because the projectiles fly so fast. It also is affected by gravity, so it only has a very limited range, but its better than no artillery, right?

Nope i didnt, its just pistons tensing up, releasing and one tick later releasing their ammo

ok thanks for the info. Another question: i was actually searching for the gun based on the comment you did on the SPG-17 Chamäleon Tank. You said you reverse-engineered it's gun. I can't find it however. Did you publish it?

The gun relied on mechanisms that were removed ages ago

The gun is not working? Otherwise, really NICE tank. Love how the tracks work!

You should make a collection of all of your tanks!

Ok, i was looking into that, but I had issues with doing it quick enough for the projectile to be effective. But based on this information, i guess ill give it another shot, and maybe i will have another clangy additon to the NMC's experimental weapons division. Thx for the help.

its really just changing offset. you could do that with a bunch of timer blocks

Ok, so scripting them are still good then? In that case, i guess ill just have alter my code? Gods don't share fire with man I suppose? ;)

i remade the guns past the update, and they are extremely strong now. I would consider this build just very outdated

Hi!
Bruce: What is it that stops the gun from working now? I have tried to build a similar construction (gun) with both timers and scripts, and i think there might be some hope in i timerbased build? What do you think?
