Aircraft laser model

(1/4) > >>

Zorlen:
Here's a suggested model for aircraft-mounted laser cannon. Two issues I'd like to discuss:
1. Should the model include the turret? I used Shiva cannon for inspiration and it had none.
2. What ammo does it use? I included a larger D-F pack, should the standard infantry DF cartridges be used?

Other feedback is welcome.

ADD: it is under GPL.

No turret is required, this is an aircraft gun, so in the event there actually is a turret it would be part of the aircraft.

I like the gun, although I'm not sure what the little bit on the side is supposed to be -- what is it and why is it there?

Regards,
Winter

Zorlen:
Thanks!

As for smaller bit - I think you mean that abovementionad large DF cell used as ammo, I applied reddish material to denote it. It doesn't tilt with the cannon and is connected to it with a flexible cable/tube.

Ah, right. The thing is, I don't think it would be properly visible when attached to our aircraft models, so it'd be better to remove that and leave the ammunition out of sight. We're not sure we'll use D-F reactions for aircraft cannon anyway, because by 2084 it would probably be possible to make effective battery-powered lasers with the supply of electricity an aircraft can generate.

Zorlen:
Here's an updated and textured model.
Neither Sourceforge nor forum file attachments seem to work (though file size < 256K), so I've put on another hosting:
