====Producer Information====
  * **Designer: ** [[:lorath_matriarchy|Lorath]] [[lorath_matriarchy:culture:occhestia|Occhestian House]] 
  * **Manufacturer: ** [[lorath_matriarchy:group:lsdf|LSDF]] Manufacturing Yards

====Nomenclature Information====
  * **Name: ** Multi-Role Ranged Gatling System – Large – Mark II (MRRGSL-MKII), or simply referred to as the L-Mark-Two
  * **Type: ** Multiple barrel antimatter shell launcher
  * **Model: ** MRRGSL-MKII
  * **Role: ** Anti-starship, anti-emplacement
  * **Length: ** 15 Meters. 
  * **Weight: ** Gatling Unit – 850 lbs, Ammunition Pack – 600 lbs unloaded, 70,600 lbs loaded without gravitational control device.


====Discharge Information====
  * **Projection/ammo type: ** Slug
  * **Firing Mechanism: ** Slugs are fed from the ammunition pack through the use of a link less belt system into the chamber of the weapon. When a shell is in the chamber and the weapon is activated, magnetic rails which run down the barrel and chamber are then powered, which results in the shell being propelled. As the round is propelled down one of three barrels, a subspace field coil then decreases the mass of the shell, which allows the shell to approach speeds near light speed as the shell leaves the barrel.
  * **Caliber: ** 40mm. 
  * **Effective Range: ** 2500 – 5000 Meters depending on atmospheric density. 
  * **Maximum Range: ** 7500 Meters in atmosphere, unlimited in deep space with minimal gravitational effects.
  * **Minimum Range: ** 0. 
  * **Muzzle Velocity: ** .90c declining to .25c over the range of 2000 meters
  * **Muzzle Blast: ** In atmosphere, there is a distortion of air and a sonic boom. In space, there would be a minor distortion in visible light due to subspace and magnetic field effects. 
  * **Firing Mode(s): ** semi-automatic, burst fire, fully automatic
  * **Recoil: ** Must be vehicle or starship mounted.
  * **Rounds Per Minute: ** 1200

**Gravitational Control Device: ** Built into the weapon and ammunition pack are gravitational control devices designed to aid in reducing ammunition weight. 

====Maintenance Information====
**Field Maintenance Procedure: ** Field maintenance is reliant upon keeping the weapon well lubricated to maintain its rounds per minute potential. Connection to the power generator on the vehicle should be checked before deployment. Replace rails after 700,000 discharges

**Replaceable Parts and components: ** all parts are interchangeable by a simple 
Removal of corresponding screws, bolts, pins, and magnetic locks.
