Ball Turrets were a series of large defensive turrets used by the Coalition of Ordered Governments to defend important buildings such as fortresses or bunkers from attacks by the Union of Independent Republics during the height of the Pendulum Wars.
They were used against small targets such as infantry, light vehicles and low-altitude aircrafts, making them versatile and complementary to much larger artillery emplacements such as a Defence Missile System.
Overview[]
These turrets, as its name suggests, were spherical in nature. This gave the weapons all-round protection against small arms fire as well as a full 360 degree coverage of fire.
Ball Turrets were autonomous and ran on a complex computer system that maybe linked to the control console of a Defence Missile System.
The twin-barrelled weapon made the the Ball Turret only effective on direct line-of-sight and is deadly against invading forces.
