Karlkla Turret
A type of small, fully autmoated sentry turret of the Grand Artanat Empire.
The Karlkla is a small, mass produced turret that can cling to walls and ceilings where it can ambush enemies more easily or be used in massive numbers. Fully automated turrets like these require advanced IFF systems. As these are carried by Grand Artanat Empire infantry anyway, this is not much of an issue.
The turret can set itself up, but one needs to hold it in place while this process happens. It will drill into the surface it is attacked to before adding an anchor to keep it in place. The process is much faster if placed on the ground, but it wont be as effectively concealed. Its primary weapon is a single 20mm chaingun. This type of weapon system is very cheap relatively, but expendable. Although it can fire its rounds at extremely high velocity, these rounds are still blocked by infantry shielding of most factions. If it penetrates the armour though - they will easily create large holes in any creature it hits.
This means it has a lot of recoil though, so it has a maximum effective range of about 100 m. Longer than this range, most factions will pick them off which can take time if these turrets are used in mass. Due to this, most GAE commanders use it primarily indoors, or other conditions that are well enclosed. When they do use them, they usually use them in large numbers, giving them the ability to bring a large amount of firepower on single targets.
