====Close-in-Weapon-System (CIWS)====
(BTW, you can see this weapon in ''Ghost in the Shell 2 - Innocence''. The battleship's turrets are firing at the puppet master location.)

The ''Sturmanderung''-Camp is supposed to have CIWSs too. The current placeholder is "MARS" (mobile anti-rocket splatter).
 
====Metal Storm====
- heavy weapon which reminds on ''minigun'', ''gatling'', ''vulcan gun'' or [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:GAU-8_avenger.jpg ''GAU'']. (Seems like ''Vulcan Raven'' (a ''Metal Gear Solid'' character) use such a weapon, note the [http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Vulcan_Raven.jpg ammunition "box"] in both pictures.)<br>
- all bullets are already loaded into the barrel and will fired by a electronic puls<br>
- this is allowing a theoretic fire rate up to 1.000.000 shots per minute<br>
