  1. Emplaced weapons of the Republican Military:
  2.  
  3. Infantry Portable:
  4.  
  5. M312 Marix "Scythe" Machine Gun: Introduced early in the 3 centuries war, the Marix was a water cooled dealer of death for the Coalition races, able to scythe through formations of melee infantry like nothing was there, and thus gained the nickname of the Scythe. Firing 7.62mm rounds from a 100 round belt, the Marix had a fire rate of around 550 rounds per minute, leading to extended belts of ammunition being developed later in the war.
  6.  
  7. M349 Torran AB cannon: The Torran Anti-Beast cannon was a 50mm gun designed to engage monstrous creatures even AB rifles couldn't penetrate with any meaningful effect. The Torran has an increased level of barrel raise, allowing for it to become an improvised artillery piece if need be. Being a dedicated AB gun, the shells fired could range from common AP and HE to more exotic rounds such as Acrid and even Mage Bane. Airship mounted Torran guns consist of a 4x linked system to make up for a lack of power to engage things an Airship would need to.
  8.  
  9. M492 Fures Rocket Gun: Similar to the Torran, the Fures was an AB gun that was able to launch self propelled rocket ammunition at targets, improving their effect. While proving fairly popular with troopers in the trenches, the rockets themselves were, and still are, expensive to produce, limiting their usage. Mounted on airships, they are arranged in a similar 4x linked system.
  10.  
  11. M397 Flame Projector: A napalm spewing "gun" with no need for explanation, the M397 was initially introduced to deal with dwarven trenches and sapper tunnels, and to coat Nov ships at sea, and served with distinction thought the 3 centuries war.
  12.  
  13. M461 Chem Sprayer: Similar in use as the M397, and even built using the same design, the M461 spewed toxic gasses and the Acrid acid gas. The primary use of these devices was, and is, to flush out fortified positions and to spread panic among enemy ranks.
  14.  
  15. Light Emplacements:
  16.  
  17. M370 Torran Array: An array of 4 linked M349 cannons to provide a wall of small shells to throw at the enemy. Relatively unremarkable otherwise.
  18.  
  19. M510 Fures Array: An array of 4 linked M492 rocket Guns.
  20.  
  21. M329 Automatic Cannon: A 30mm rapid fire cannon fed via magazine intended to engage small scale aircraft. If brought in bulk, concentrated fire could even threaten medium sized ships. These guns are near universal on all civilian ships.
  22.  
  23. M363 AutoCannon Mk.2: An upgrade to it's predecessor, the M363 features a twin barreled arrangement, effectively doubling the firepower per emplacement.
  24.  
  25. M329 120mm Light Naval Gun: The M329 was one of the first dedicated naval guns introduced by the Republic, and gained official "M" designation upon their use on Airships. They are usually mounted to turrets with twin barrels to increase effectiveness. Officially, they are duel purpose guns, able to engage both Arial and naval targets with decent efficiency.
  26.  
  27. M359 130mm Light Naval Gun: Introduced in the 59th year of the 3rd century since the Republic's founding, the M359 was a dedicated Naval gun created to fill a role between lighter 120mm guns and heavier 150mm guns.
  28.  
  29. Medium Emplacements:
  30.  
  31. M331 150mm Naval Cannon: The first explicit anti-ship gun deployed on an airship, the M331 was a monster when brought to bare against Coalition naval forces and Land formations. It's introduction was said to be the reason behind the sudden introduction of Trench tactics by the Coalition.
  32.  
  33. M438 180mm Naval Cannon: Designed to replace
