The M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun is a United Nations Space Command Defense Force vehicle-mounted machine gun. It is used as the primary armament on the standard M12 Warthog LRV.
Background
The M41 LAAG is the standard weaponry of the M12 Warthog LRV. It is a triple-barreled, electric-powered,
linkless, drum-fed weapon. It fires 450 to 550 12.7x99mm armor penetrating rounds per minute. Turret traverse rate is 100
degrees per second and weapon elevation rate is 60 degrees per second. Recoil from sustained fire is prodigious and negatively
impacts accuracy at long range. It also works quite well for taking out Banshees and other lightly-armored vehicles.
