Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
While its damage output is not very impressive, it is nonetheless very accurate and good at shooting down warheads, and the relatively high velocity of its shots means that it usually hits what it aims at, so the damage will steadily add up over time. When coupled with the Burst Flak, staying within range of these point defense guns is strongly ill-advised.
