M50 ontos (multiple recoiless rifle)

[stardog573]

Hello everyone, what I made today is replica of M50 ontos. It's a quick build and not detailed replica. But what I really want to show you is potential of launch escape unit as an ammunition.

When people make cannon for something like tank, seperatron is a typical choice for stock part ammunition. Problem is, seperatron is more like a rocket than cannon ammunition shell.

Seperatrons continue their acceleration until they flew about 500m distance, and at early stage they are not fast enough to punch something hard.

But in case of LEU, They use their fuel in a second and their velocity at eary stage is faster than any other rockets in KSP. Only problem is torque that LEU makes. Thus, two of them can be coupled and clipped together to compensate torque.

As shown in following video, ammunitions have enough punch to destroy small objects in space center. So, for close targets (<200 meters) these ammunitions are really useful.

And you can enjoy big explosions of empty fuel tanks, you know...

Oh, I almost forgot... Hitting G to lower landing struts will engage artillerty mode.

Enjoy!
