The perfect cannon for any war-obsessed general! Perfect for hunting enemy tanks, mechs, warships and hovercraft. Or if you're not into conquering lands, it is also sufficiently good for getting rid of flies in your house.
OVERSEER CLASS: Heavy ordinance launcher using primarily repulsion drives.
The AMC-MCT Overseer-class "Protostar" is an long range heavy weapon. The high-powered launch mechanism, was designed to use Repulsion Drive technology.
It is rumored to have a firing range of between 60 and 100 miles. However, no range information has been released publicly (or even tested for that matter). Many know, however, that the muzzle velocity of the projectile is higher than Mach 10.
But why is it fully manual? Because it's more reliable and easier to build, reducing that part count. And it doesn't explode upon firing the fifth shot cough SpiritusRaptor cough (cue forced laugh from triggered users)
--- User Manual ---
Controls:
AG1-7 - Used in detaching, readying and firing of weapon
Throttle - Charge (note 1)
Brake - Aid weapon loading (note 2) / Eject empty shells (note 3)
Pitch down - Load weapon
VTOL - Rotate weapon
Trim - Pitch weapon
1: You MUST charge fully before firing!
2: Don't overdo it! (Controller recommended)
3: Do not use on ammunition that are in firing position and have not been fired. It may explode.
Procedure: (where n=shell number)
1. AGn to detach shell
2. Pitch down to load shell
3. Brake if shell is not in firing position. Keep trying until successful.
4. Throttle up to ready firing
5. AG(n+1) to fire weapon
6. Brake to eject empty shell
7. Repeat from step 2 (step 5 also releases next shell)
Remember to follow the firing procedure at all times! Failure to do so will result in having to manually remove the ordinance or self-destruction.
Additional Build Information and Notes:
1. Orbit Camera angles are given for all shots.
2. Engine added for sound effect and decoration.
3. Weapon is purposely designed to misfire if not charged properly. >:D
Warning for Potatoes:
In the case of misfiring, may make your potato device explode! AMC is not responsible for any devices doing a Note 7 impression.
Useful subassemblies:
- Modded detacher "Repulsion Drive"

this took me like 30 minutes to find out how to shoot, wtf is wrong with me
I dont understand how to fire
So... Any one have a ship that uses this?
Beautiful craft. Aimed it at Avalanche from Bandit and i overshot it :| Just to show you this things got potential! Like the hacked tiny engine, but maybe you should put boom 5000s on it just for fun😈
@Viperfox no, because of the second reason
@Viperfox
- it is very heavy, has a lot of drag, is extremely big and is asymmetrical
- the loading animation is physics-based so the plane must be stationary AND level
- there is considerable recoil
- and you must have an empty space at the top and right for ejection of used shells
Verdict: you can use it on surface vehicles and airships, but not planes
@CoBros2 make sure you are running on high physics, also remember to release all empty rounds. The springs, among other things, prevents explosions during loading
I like it but one problem is after the 3 shot and 4 come down it explodes because it has enough height to explode
@AstleyIndustries well. I need cyber social life myself too
@AstleyIndustries It does seem to happen a quite a lot its amusing actually
@RedstoneAeroAviation @Smasher i like how this build has become a chatroom
@Smasher yes
@RedstoneAeroAviation I was just pointing it out you see
@Smasher yes.
This is the coolest piece of equipment i've ever seen built in Simple Planes! It's Totally breathtaking, you've done an excellent work. I can't imagine what effort you've put into this, to get it to work properly. Amazing job! Totally AMAZING! Im stunned, and i probably will be everytime i decide to play with it! Once again, AMAZING! Ur my idol!
@RedstoneAeroAviation 666 the devils number ever heard about it ?
@Smasher im responding to the 666 reply fyi. Are you talking bout your magnum?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS THING!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍 Its the first thing I've downloaded and loved that much! I love the fact that you explained, IN DETAIL how it worked. AMAZING!!!!!
@TheNCRranger make sure you dont spawn this when moving at decent speeds or it will explode
If you want to mount this on a vehicle you may have to edit the engine to a higher max rpm (and check my bio if posting that)
@AstleyIndustries I used High
Oh I just read the instructions wrong
I can't get it to fire
@RedstoneAeroAviation its primarily used for personal defense
if trump had these on the border the US would be a lot safer
@Smasher yah i know. I forgot bout that
