G57 rocket turret

The G57 Rocket Turret is a 105mm shaped-charge, high-explosive (SC-HE) rocket turret employed by the USC Armed Forces, used primarily on the MR2A4 Rocket Buffalo.

Specifications

The G57 rocket turret is painted black, with some sort of motion tracking systems facing the gunner. The turret is apparently magazine-fed, due to the presence of a magazine mounted on the left side of the launcher, as well as a pair of identical magazines stored on the turret's base.
When fired, the turret launches three G57 105mm surface-to-surface missiles, the same as those employed by the R27 rocket launcher. Each reload cycle of the 105mm SC-HE rocket turret consumes four seconds, which is vital in combat situations. Presumably, it has an automatic reload system as the gunner does not have to do anything during the reload cycle. Partial reloads, when only one or two rockets have been fired, are also available, but will still use up the entire reload cycle - there is no time difference between reloading an empty launcher or a launcher with one rocket left. The carriage of the G57 rocket turret resembles the M99 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun to some extent, most notably due to the shield and arm braces.
