 The dual-turret weapons systems are capable of twice the effective rate-of-fire of their single-turret predecessors, but duplicate only 70% of the components, sharing certain support systems.  Due to their size, they can only be mounted on the Tiger heavy combat chassis, a tracked vehicle based on the Earthworker and Robo-Dozer designs. The dual-turret weapons systems are capable of twice the effective rate-of-fire of their single-turret predecessors, but duplicate only 70% of the components, sharing certain support systems.  Due to their size, they can only be mounted on the Tiger heavy combat chassis, a tracked vehicle based on the Earthworker and Robo-Dozer designs.

 +=== Teaser ===
 +Some of our researchers, reviewing the military database brought from Earth, have found an abstract of a proposal for a weapon that uses a directional magnetic field to propel a projectile.  Although plans for the weapon were lost, we believe we can recreate such a device.
 +
 +=== Results ===
 +The Rail Gun turret uses an electric current to accelerate a projectile to velocities of several hundred meters per second. The weapon consists of two copper rails and the R-10 cool-fusion power cell, which charges a capacitor.  The capacitor is discharged into one rail and the current flows through the projectile into the second rail, producing a directional magnetic field that accelerates the projectile.
