Is there a rotary gun in FL?

Ok, my bud told me that he found some rotary gun that came with a ship in Rheinland space, it runs off expensive amunition, and is kick @#S powerful, but so far, the only rheinland made weps I know of is the two tackyon guns n turrets, and the two plasma based guns n turrets, can some1 identify this wep and where I can buy it (if it exists).

I.........have never encountered any type of ballistic cannon in this game. Maybe he was using a mod?

Closest thing to ballistic weapons are photon guns. They look like a chaingun and they sound like a ballistic weapon to some degree, but the guns don't actually animate . And they don't run off ammunition. The gun you described simply doesn't exist.

Yeah, it sounds like he's referring to the Sunblast and Skyblast series of Photon guns.

They have an 8.33 fire rate and have all the great aspects of a ballistic weapon ( gun sounds and "barrel flash" ). But they aren't ballistic, and they don't use any ammo.

They are some of the most efficient weapons on the game though.

yup, I mounted some bfor u posted, now that I think about it, they do kinda look like balistic weapons.
But it would be cool in there was a rotary gun mod, if some1 can point me to the FL editing pages I might check 4 tutorials for that stuff, or can an application currently available do that, I dloaded ship studio, but it has n error when createn mods, so thats not wut I'm lookin 4, thnx.

Shouldn't be difficult. All you really need is a missile launcher with a barrager's graphic, and some way to increase the ammunition maximum(50 rounds would go up like no other)

Ok, I was thinkin last night, you don't need to have the ammunition be in solitary bullets, maybe clips, each clip sustains uber rapid fire for 3 seconds, like bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. (nah thats how my bud Jason explained how it sounded, so).
You can load a max of 50 clips, like regular ammo, it would fire maybe double the quickness (if possible) of say a flashpoint or justice.
But you know what else we need, a ubergun to go with the ubershield mod, properties of a stunpulse + massive armor damage and very little energy drain.
