Gun Emplacement

Gun emplacements are robots encountered in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
A fixed defensive emplacement mounting a 50 mm cannon in a cast turret capable of firing in a 360 degree radius, mounted on a concrete foundation. The emplacements were a popular choice for providing security at strategic locations across Appalachia, such as the Wade Airport, Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06, or the converted munitions factory.

Characteristics
Essentially a bulkier, more durable version of standard machine gun turrets, the guns are an improved form of workshop defense found occassionally at workshops, such as the aforementioned converted munitions factory and the Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06.

They fire .50 cal rounds at approaching combatants but are not very durable and are easily disabled. They do prove valuable in helping fend off scorchbeasts due to the enemies mainly staying in the air, allowing the emplacements to fire on them with a steady barrage of cannon fire while remaining undamaged. However, they have a flaw in their design: Small attackers, such as mongrels or molerats, can close in and attack them point blank with impunity, as the gun cannot depress that low.

Repairing a disabled gun emplacement requires a set amount of oil, aluminum, gears, and steel.
