Arasaka WXA Computer-Aimed Weapon

The Arasaka WXA Computer-Aimed Weapon is one of the security manufacturing department's "lethal deterrent systems", a belt-fed, computer aimed and fired machine gun. It can be programmed to key on motion or heat, and to fire in any arc from 10 to 360 degrees and any range from 400m to 2m. It operates in all light conditions. The WXA requires an external power source, but its computer is integral. WXAs can be remotely monitored, aimed, and triggered.

The gun's to-hit roll is 10 + 1d10. It is subject to all to-hit modifiers. WXAs can be programmed to recognize friendlies if the friendlies are wearing small IFF radio pulsers. The pulser is about the size of a pen, and broadcasts a code which can be set by the gun's owner. This prevents unauthorized pulsers from disarming the guns.

The WXA weighs 50 kilos, is the size of a squad automatic weapon mounted on a small crate, and can be free-standing or mounted in a structure. A recoil buffing system keeps the guns from shifting much when fired free-standing, but the manual recommends bolting them down as a safety measure. The guns are not designed from the base, or to be hand operated.

Price covers gun, remote monitor, and 500 rounds disintegrating belt ammo (cased or caseless).
