 | @Meph, hmm. I thought about that and I'm thinking that it would make the gun too heavy for the "shoulder" joint to handle. I want it to at least be able to carry same amount of ammo as modern tanks, so I think the ammo box will have to be on the torso somewhere. @Freak, thanks dude @L2K, yea I'm starting to lean to that conclusion. This would be one heavy ammo belt though, lol. |

| Well, take a look at the ammo belt for an A-10's Avenger cannon. That'll give you some idea of a heavy-duty ammo system. Or try to find some photo's of a modern day naval gun (damn, I almost typed navel gun  ) |

| yea the gau-8 ammo belt is pretty serious anyways worked on some weapons and added the countermeasures suite. No lasers this time. CIWS is provided by a pair of high velocity shotgun turrets. |

| Seriously cool mech work here! The design and development process is very impressive, but what I would really like to see is a short animation demonstrating range of motion possible on these things. Cheers! — Möe |

| thanks guys, appreciate it. moebius my poor little old computer would probably kill itself trying to animate them, heh. But we'll see. For now I just want to try to finish the models/textures which is a challenge enough for me as it is being a member of the "it'll get finished someday club", lol. |

| ok, I think I've finally worked out a system that I'm quite satisfied with. 11 round ammo clips that the mech drops once empty, and gets reloads from the ammo box on the back. Box holds additional 6 clips for a maximum of 77 rounds carried, which is pretty good for a heavy gun I think. |
