Shredder MAW

A particularly deadly (but interesting) MAW whose creation is atributed to metalists, extinct alien civilization most likely genocided by someone around year 1500 AC. With their accelerators no doubt causing devastating damage to their enemies before they were finally outnumbered and destroyed. With their place of origin giving them their typical, heavily 'industrial' and rough look that makes them look like something out of early XXI century.
Shredder MAWs are relatively average in all of their qualities, shooting with speed more or less typical to manmade MAWs, with bullets that are no mystery to human researchers. What makes them really surprising and deadly weapons of war is their fire rate, which borders on being called astronomical. With 20mm shredder MAW launching ~three millions bullets within single minute, making everything caught in its iron rain be destroyed. Or, from the lack of better words, erased or shredded into small pieces.
They are encountered nearly only as the light calibre MAWs, that still require great ammounts of ammunition to actually be able to keep firing for long (after all their requirement for ammunition is SUBSTANTIAL). On the other hands it is extremely deadly weapon, with merely few placed upon capital ships being able to turn the table on attacking fighters.
