Weapon- 50.cal machine gun with a 300 round amo box
Effective range- 1,900 to 2,200 meters
Purpose- Anit-infantry and LAV
Manufacturer- Baldcorps
Price- 40k


Lore:
The military was in search for a new sentry gun to go along with there newly developed LAV that was cheaper than their current mounted machine gun and kept the gunner safe from incoming enemy fire. An engineer at BaldCorps named Brandon Fertz Gray stepped up to the challenge. He had no trouble making the actual gun itself but he had a hard time coming up with a way to protect the gunner, then he had the brilliant idea of what if the gunner didn’t have to be up top to control the turret, but could control it from inside the car, but this created a new set of obstacles. For one the computer and housing would be a big target. Second was protecting the cameras from bullet fire. After weeks of extensive testing that if he angled the armor just right bullets would bounce right off as soon as it hit the turret. As for the camera protection, he discovered if u mix the right amount of graphene into glass and then cool it slowly, it creates a super strong tempered glass, which still remains semi clear when hit directly. Brandon assembled his prototype and presented it to the military and they loved it and ordered for it to go into production as soon as possible. The FM-25 was a hit with grunts and was conveniently called the best friend gun after Brandon’s initials, and soon saw adaptations to be fitted on tanks and such.

    Functionality 34/40
    The gun and the turret itself works but I think you should've added more like a bullet ejection or a working sights because it looks quite static

    Design 29/30
    A nice design considering it has a low number of parts but I think you should've worked more on the bullets on the canister

    Originality 18/20
    A nice and original design but it is just a turret with a function to shoot bullets

    Description 9/10
    You should've added in-game pictures but other than that the info is nice

    Total Score 90/100
