Summary
|
Flak gun was a point-defense weaponry employed by various vehicles.The idea of point defense goes back to before most species even had the ability to orbit their planets, much less the formation of a galaxy spanning civilization. The idea was always to destroy or deflect incoming fire before it could damage defender's position. While energy weapons required deflector shields to do this, the idea was still soundly applied against proton torpedoes, concussion missiles, starfighters, and mass driven rounds.Flak gun shells would be fired in the general area of the target, which would then explode, filling the area with shrapnel. Though effective planetside, it was in space combat that it really shined - without atmosphere to slow the shrapnel, and the far higher velocities used, the shrapnel became incredibly deadly.
