The Vanquisher series of miniguns are the heavier cousins of the popular Vindicator minigun and use the Vindicator's rotating-barrel design. The CAS army recently chose to equip its Avenger VII motorized air-defense vehicle with Vanquishers.
Game Effects: Like the Vindicator, both the Vanquisher require 3 seconds ( 1 Combat Turn) of start-up time to get the barrels rotating at firing speed. The Vanquisher have a fixed rate of fire of 15 rounds per Complex Action. The Vanquisher follow the double-unmodified recoil rules for heavy weapons, but mounting the miniguns on a vehicle hardpoint cancels out the special recoil modifier.
Vanquisher miniguns can make use of gyroscopic stabilization, but they cannot accept gas-vent recoil compensation. Likewise, they can accept top-mounted weapon accessories but they cannot carry barrel or under-barrel weapon accessories. Vanquisher miniguns can be mounted on vehicle weapon mounts, but they cannot be mounted on ordinary bipods or tripods.
Because of their mass and punishing recoil, Vanquisher are not man-portable. The Vanquisher are not anti-vehicle weapons, so they are subject to the damage reduction rules for vehicles.
The Vanquisher is considered a HMG for range and ammo purposes.
