This turret, being exactly like a machine gun, fires non-stop. If you fire for too long, your turret will start overheating, and you will lose health in the form of heat damage, similar to what you experience when a [[Firebird]] shoots flames at you. You may use a First Aid/Repair Kit to prevent yourself from taking too much self-damage and self-destructing, if there is a [[Freeze]] or [[Isida]] that is on your team shooting at you, as long as they keep on firing there is no limit on how long you can shoot for. The turret's aim is also very accurate, meaning you are guaranteed to hit the opponent if the turret is fixed upon them. It is explained in the game that this is because of a gyroscope built inside this turret, which means that even if the user is under attack, they will still fire upon their target.

Another remarkable feature of this turret is its impact force, which is rather considerable, being a machine gun. It seems the impact force of this turret is 99, which is lower than a [[Ricochet]] or a [[Railgun]], but less than [[Thunder]] or [[Twins]]. When the gun actually fires at an opponent in the game, however, the opponents seem rather disturbed by the Vulcan's projectiles, as they knock the opponent back due to the weapon's high fire rate. To put this simply, it may seem the Vulcan has a shameful impact force, but it seems to be referencing what impact force is put upon a single projectile, meaning firing 20+ projectiles on a target has a more impressive impact force.

Reloading the Vulcan is actually pretty fast, similar to how you reload a real machine gun. Turning this turret is approximately the same as turning a Ricochet, which would mean about 73.8 (Ricochet is 74.3). The turret's range is long, about 127.1 according to the gun's garage characteristics. This means you can fire freely almost anywhere.

General

This turret, being exactly like a machine gun, fires non-stop.Although If you fire for too long, your turret will start to make you overheat, and you will lose health in the form of heat damage, similar to what you experience when a Firebird shoots flames at you. You may use a First Aid/Repair Kit to prevent yourself from taking too much self-damage and self-destructing, if there is a Freeze or Isida that is on your team shooting at you, as long as they keep on firing there is no limit on how long you can shoot for. The turret's aim is also very accurate, meaning you are guaranteed to hit the opponent if the turret is fixed upon them. It is explained in the game that this is because of a gyroscope built inside this turret, which means that even if the user is under attack, they will still fire upon their target.

Another remarkable feature of this turret is its impact force, which is rather considerable, being a machine gun. It seems the impact force of this turret is 99, which is lower than a Ricochet or a Railgun, but less than Thunder or Twins. When the gun actually fires at an opponent in the game, however, the opponents seem rather disturbed by the Vulcan's projectiles, as they knock the opponent back due to the weapon's high fire rate. To put this simply, it may seem the Vulcan has a shameful impact force, but it seems to be referencing what impact force is put upon a single projectile, meaning firing 20+ projectiles on a target has a more impressive impact force.

Reloading the Vulcan is actually pretty fast, similar to how you reload a real machine gun. Turning this turret is approximately the same as turning a Ricochet, which would mean about 73.8 (Ricochet is 74.3). The turret's range ( distance the turret can fire) is long, about 127.1 according to the gun's garage characteristics.
