Template:Ratings Template:Weapon The 70mm chain gun is an anti-personnel/anti-vehicle weapon mounted below the nose of some D77-TC Pelican dropships. The gun is linked to the movements of the pilot's head, which allows for very short delays between spotting enemies and firing; the turret can rotate up to 120 degrees to wherever the pilot is looking. The turret can also be operated by a copilot, or manually by a gunner.[1] The weapon seemingly replaced the 40mm chain gun that was common prior to 2525.[2]
