Description
The first
field-mounted plasma gun to enter service, it
incorporates a complex cruciform mount to allow more
stable, accurate and rapid fire for a weapon of this
type. Because it is virtually immobile on the
battlefield, it has been withdrawn from front-line
service, but can often be found in fixed locations.
Many CLP-1As have been exported, often as light
vehicle armament upgrades.
While swapping magazines is
technically possible, the fact that a fully-loaded 10-round magazine
weighs close to 180 kg makes such a maneuver impractical. The
designers foresaw this issue and designed the magazine like a
hopper. Individual rounds can be fed into the magazine while
it is attached to the weapon. |
