Akian Ironfist SP Gun (Military Aircraft)

The Ironfist is a variant of the Cossack APC design. Since the MD gun requires 35MW to operate, the weapon cannot be fired while the vehicle is in flight, and therefore no stabilization is provided. The gun is in a hull mount with limited traverse-gross aiming is done by turning the vehicle. Like the Cossack, the grav units are substantially larger than strictly required for flight, and up to 223 tons of material (typically ammunition) can be lifted with a maximum resulting speed of 300kph.
