Converting Light to Heavy
Richard LeMoon:
Solution to the heavy clip issue would be reverse arming. That means the secondary damage is turned off after a certain range.
Primary: Piercing. DPS similar to Wirlwind Gatling. Unaffected by range.
Secondary: Piercing as well. 150 meter range limit.

By comparison, Gatling DPS is 111.7 to the armor. However, with the high jitter, the Eris would shoot pretty much everywhere on the ship. Damage to everything else is minor, so guns, engines, and balloon would act like a shield against it. Up close, this thing would be terrifying to the armor.

Ohh I like! How does reload stack up with light gat though?
Richard LeMoon:
Here are the raw Gatling numbers. I did not do any rounding. The raw stripping power (if all shots hit) is not too much higher than the Gatling. The wide spread, however, would make it a hwacha-like weapon. Heavy will almost be required for max range. Other ammos would be good close up. Switching ammo mid-clip would be pretty risky, though.

It sounds great to me!
Though I think it should have a stormy name to go with the whirlwind.
