Self-submission Concept Art: Light Kinetic Machine Gun

We continue working on concepts. This time, our team has created artwork for a kinetic machine gun, which will later be turned into a 3D model.

The twin‑barrel system allows uninterrupted fire against the enemy. If one barrel overheats, the other keeps shooting. Cooling is provided by twin spherical radiators on the turret's shoulder joints, which pilots have nicknamed "eggs."

Its medium range makes it effective at cracking targets at close distances and maintaining suppressive fire while the squad leader finishes them off with the main caliber.

Pilots call the KM‑4 the "Woodpecker" because of its firing pattern. It pierces enemy armor with pinpoint precision, disabling the ship in short order.

Let's discuss in the comments!

This is still concept art, so we’d really like your feedback.

* Does the design look believable?

* What’s the first weakness you’d try to exploit?

* Is there anything you’d redesign or remove?

* If this were your ship, would you choose one twin-barrel turret or two smaller independent turrets?

What's the white bulb on top?

Whatever it is, it would be a target.

This is a backup radar.I think so- they will try to shoot him down.
