Developed by minmatar technicians in an attempt to create way to push back drop ships and repurposed to be a hand held weapon for front line soldiers to engage land and air vehicles. The Mini Flak cannon (commonly known as the GÇ£MF CannonGÇ¥ or a GÇ£Flaking CannonGÇ¥) operates by shooting an explosive shell that detonates after it gets near the target, this is to counter the fact the weapon is large and unwieldy for hand held use.
30mm Flak Cannon Weapon Specifics:
(Standard Flak Cannon)
- 120 RPM(2 RPS)
- Automatic
- 250 Damage per Round. (500 DPS)
- 3.3m Splash
40mm Assault Flak Cannon Weapon Specifics:
(High speed flak cannon, lighter than the standard variation. Wider firing zone.)
- 258 RPM(4.3 RPS)
- Automatic
- 111 Damage per shot.(559 DPS)
- 4.0m Splash
50mm Burst Flak Cannon Weapon Specifics:
(Fast burst, slow rate of bursts, higher damage. Smaller firing zone.)
- 180 RPM (1 Burst per second)
- 3 Round Burst
- 330 damage per shot.(990 DPS)
- 2.6m Splash

Please feel free to help with the math!! It is not my strong suit, I also cant remember the name of the Minmatar weapons developer.
I am extreamly open to any suggestions anyone has. |

My counter to this is the fact that the rounds would have to be near the installation/HAV/DS for them to explode, the rounds wouldnt trigger if shot at infantry, and they would actually have to hit the soldier. |

I assume this will be a heavy weapon, all the kickback from a large projectile and whatnot

Thats the term I couldn't think of! Thanks. |

*shrugs* Numbers can be changed, I don't care too much about that part, I just like the idea and would love to see it in game. CCP and people better at math will be able to take care of that part... I probably should not have added it though. |

You were saying? They would actually have to hit the soldier. that to me indicates the rounds will still go off impact with a solid object or obstruction(in this case, a merc)
Sorry if I wasn't clear.
The rounds will detonate when they get within range of a vehicle, but wont detonate on impact, they are designed to do more damage by exploding near the target rather than hitting it. How this will work with aiming at soldiers is the round can still hit the soldier but wont detonate. That being said 30mm or 40mm round hitting you in the chest is still going to do damage. That and the weapon is not acurate so you cant snipe soldiers at a distance. Think HMG kind of spread. |
