Sample scenario: A sub-flock of, oh, 1,000 Pigeons at the weapon's Max
range, approaching at their maximum airspeed, Dodging every turn...
how many will survive to reach the weapon emplacement and blow it to
smithereens, and how many Pigeons will be destroyed for the investment
put into this particular anti-Pigeon weapon?
My first wild-assed guess:
A TL8 6-barrel 20mm gatling very-long-barreled firing
High-Explosive-Proximity-Fuse automatically aimed by a millimeter-wave
computer-controlled fast-aim mount. (Using the suggestion that RoF is
20xbarrels)
RoF 120
KE Dmg: 21d
Range: 1509/6171yds. (4527/18513ft)(0.857/3.5miles)
Acc: +18
EWt: 180lbs.
SS: 20
Power: 7.2kW
Cost: $14250
WPS: 0.6
VPS: 0.004
CPS: $1.2
HEPF: 1.5d[2d] 0.9lbs. $6
I'm not sure how that transforms into a 'kill radius'.
A Pigeon will take 58.77seconds to cover the guns range, during which time
the gun can punch out 7052 rounds. For a 1000 member flock, this gun could
award each Pigeon as many as 7 rounds. (Assuming zero time to aim, and
ending up at the mouth of the barrel.)
