The weapon is thus considered a special-issue arm deployed in specific situations, rather than a general purpose weapon. The galven circuitry used in the blaster meant that the Z-6 had both a high cyclic discharge rate and good cooling, allowing for a tremendous sustained rate of fire (up to roughly 166 discrete full-powered shots per second).ĭespite its impressive firepower, the weapon had several notable limitations, specifically the high rate of energy pack consumption, significant weight, and powerful recoil.
Working around a basic limitation in capabilities inherent in typical man-portable blaster weapons, the Z-6 incorporated a rotary assembly of six barrels, each with its own actuating chamber, wrapped around a coolant-lined core. The Z-6 was large and unwieldy and required training to use effectively. It was similar to a heavy repeating blaster, except it was light enough to be operated by a single heavy weapon specialist without a tripod. The Z-6 rotary blaster cannon was a heavy weapon that fired a massive spray of blaster bolts at a target.
Reaload time is slow, however, due to the long duration of this weapon's attack, the Rotary Blaster Cannon can deal constant damage without interruption if the player repeatedly taps the attack key." A big gun doesn't make a big man." ― Fives The Rotary Blaster Cannon is very weak, each shot dealing little below 100 damage. The shots fire in a spread out fashion, allowing this weapon to deal damage to more than one enemy at a time. The Rotary Blaster Cannon has the ability to release several shots in one attack. It has two variants, one is the Mandalorian Repeater which is used by Mandalorians and fires yellow bolts and the other variant is the Repeater Cannon which is basically the same as the z 6 except has a higher rate of fire. A mandalorian version with the same abilities known as the Mandalorian Repeater has been released on. It was originally a part of the Hevy outift, but was later added to other Clone Trooper outfit sets. The Rotary Blaster Cannon, formally known as the Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon, is a large minigun type weapon wielded by Clone Troopers and can be used in the Battle of Umbara. The Repeater Cannon, a variant of the Rotary Blaster Cannon.
