Shredder Chaingun
A very powerful chaingun that can tear entire ships to shreds. Of the Hyperion Federation, this machine can achieve some huge fire rates. It can shoot so fast that the muzzle flashes can make the turret look like aa flamethrower. However, a single bullet wont do much, and it turns quite slow for stability reasons.
The Shredder works by using time dilation on itself. This slows down time for itself and allows it to load extremely fast. This can produce a lot of recoil though - so recoil is massively reduced by a device under the barrel that takes the recoil at an extremely high speed.
Some Colour Variants of the Shredder cause its rounds to explode on contact with a target. The constant explosions can be very dangerous in planetary warfare (in cases where a Shredder may be mounted in various HF vehicle turret mounts such as in the Revenant MBT or Annihilation Mechanised Assault Vehicle). The sheer amount of shockwaves is very likely to damage the morale of any person near the explosions, even to the strongest of will.
Like most ballistic weapons around, the Shredder also has access to other types of ammo. Armour piercing rounds will bounce off enemy heavily armoured targets but are excellent for punching hundreds of holes in weakly armoured targets such as APCs or destroyers. They also do wonders against a shield, enemy shields come under extreme amounts of stress to deflect all the rounds form the weapon, causing it to drain very fast.
