Helsing harkonnen cannon

[HaikenEdge]

Would need a scope with some very major zoom.

I agree with the slow reload rate, this isn't something you'd want to take into the heat of battle, but it would need a mad long scope and from my understanding the actual cannon is a 30mm

Victoria was able to use this cannon only because she's been a vampire. So, while Fallout protagonist is a common human it must be difficult for him to use harkonnen: mad weight (about 40), long reload and no scope at all, just as in OVA. On the other side there should be hell of DAM to take down a deathclaw with a single shot for example. If you add a large zoom to it it will be more of a god weapon.

There's no point in attaching a scope to it, the render range in the game is ballocks.

Is this cannon comparable to a railgun's effect?

 

Where this cannon seems to take down even a deathclaw in one shot, a railgun (electromagnetic powered rifle) should be able to match it to some extent.

 

Using electromagnetic technology, the rifle is able to hit even the toughest enemies, since the railgun is basically super super fast bullet (about 10x the bullet speed of a normal gun?).

 

The only problem with railguns is the bullet size to the speed of the shot... Obviously if you use larger rounds, the speed will fall considerably...

 

But if you somehow have a small but solid ammunition for such a gun, size won't matter when it moves so fast it pierces through a line of targets.

 

Railguns are seen as large bulky weapons, maybe like Telsa Cannon bulky... And it sure is inaccurate as hell if you want to fire this over your shoulder... You need to mount it in order to even shoot.

 

A railgun is an entirely electrical gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along a pair of metal rails using the same principles as the homopolar motor. Railguns use two sliding or rolling contacts[1] that permit a large electric current to pass through the projectile. This current interacts with the strong magnetic fields generated by the rails and this accelerates the projectile.

 

The U.S. Navy has tested a railgun that accelerates a 3.2 kg (7.0547 pound) projectile to 2.4 kilometers per second (seven times the speed of sound).[2]

 

Railguns should not be confused with:

 

* Coilguns (Gauss guns), which are contactless and use a magnetic field generated by external coils arranged along the barrel to accelerate a magnetic projectile.

* Railway guns, which are very large artillery pieces placed on railway tracks and predominantly used in and between the American civil war and the Second World War.

* Railguns, a type of sporting rifle generally used in Benchrest shooting.

 

Now, if you take a railgun and replace the fatman's launching mechanism with it... You'd have a weapon that far surpass a metal gear's ability to launch nukes... Sure in theory the metal gear can launch a nuke from anywhere, but it's a big heap of metal compared to a portable sniping nuke gun.

Railguns? Why would you use a railgun? It'd be huge, heavy and nearly worthless on soft targets. The projectile moves too fast to cause any significant wound cavities on soft targets.

No a railgun has a very different effect than a cannon... and I guess you are right about the scope, didn't think about the render distance
