MWS-B | L30M "Viper" Stabilised Autocannon
Information:
The L30M Automated Small Calibre Gun System, nicknamed Viper, was designed in response to the proliferation of small armed speedboats for which existing larger naval guns, and manned autocannons, were not suited to engage these targets at short notice. As such a Remotely Operated Weapon was required, and so the L30M was born.
The L30M is a gun system suitable for both land and sea vehicles, capable of accepting a wide variety of ammunition types to facilitate any engagement from Anti-Infantry to Anti-Ship, and even limited Anti-Air capabilities.
The nickname "Viper" was given to the L30M as when compared to heavier weapons it will subdue its foes with numerous smaller jabs rather than a few heavier ones.

How to Use:
- Whilst in the building editor, use the Select Tool on the gun Microcontroller if you wish to un-invert the gun’s pitch axis.
- Turn on the Monitor, you will now be able to slew the turret to the target using A/D.
- Select a Fire Mode, by default it is in Semi-Auto, flip the Fire Mode switch to go Full-Auto.
- Once ready to engage flip the Master Arm switch, the UI elements will turn Green Indicating Ready to Fire.
- If you want some additional stability assistance, to help counter bumps or waves, turn on the Turret Stability switch.**
- For use at night, turn on the IR Mode.
* Note that the turret is only operated remotely and that currently the Control Handle on the Turret is purely decorative.
** It is important that you turn off the Turret Stabilisation before you turn off the monitor power, to avoid awakening the wrath of the physics engine.
