Audio entry code #13-10-01-06 - commence recording. Weapon sample #31-05-25-01-12, MB10a "Lewis" Battleship Cannon. Retrieved in: Hudson system. Condition: green. Suitable for immediate usage. Currently installed on: 'Sparta-2' "Aquilon" Zoner Carrier. Implementing basic data package.- "infocard".
MB10a “Lewis” Battleship Cannon
The Lewis is an archaic design, a true projectile weapon, firing 240mm explosive shells in a double-barrel configuration not unlike the weapons found on naval warships of the Sol era. Used heavily by Bretonia in the early centuries of colonization, these weapons were made obsolete by shield technology, which renders this type of weapon useless. Most Lewis cannons were destroyed, but a small number still remain in museums or forgotten armories. Against an unshielded target, they are still as effective as ever.
Battleship Heavy Slot Turret.
Type: Hullbuster
2x150.000 Hull Damage
2x75.000 Shield Damage
1.200.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.08 Refire
900M/s Speed
4.500M Range
Preliminary testing have showed positive results: despite the outdated designs, it demostrates high efficiency and best performance at 3.5 K distance, usage of it on higher range is not recommended due to projectiles scattering, which seems to be impossible to control; high energy consumption is explained by the necessarity to significantly accelerate the massive 240 mm barrels, slower recharge rate - by close-to-manual delivery of those barrels to the turret before the next shot can be performed.
Overall, Kinetic Turret shows itself as a highly advanced prototype of the design originating back from Sol, so-called Gauss Cannon, and, despite the outdates design - a formidable counterpart to the existing antimatter artillery provided on Sirius-wide market.

the weapon test looks sufficient. The weapon seems not more dangerous than any other. Consider it approved from a security perspective which we have to uphold. The ultimate decision whether you may transport this gun through Liberty or not is responsibility of the Liberty Police, though. Therefore, we advise you to contact them before you take any measures.
A pleasant day.
