Has no built in inaccuracy, making it one of the best point defense weapons in BP. The only comparable weapon in this role is the UEF Point Defense Turret.

Since it has no built-in inaccuracy, you can evade fire from this weapon by constantly changing your velocity (as in, the direction you're going) while still maintaining the general direction you want to travel. However, the closer you get, the harder this will be to perform, especially in slower and more sluggish craft (like the Uriel). This weapon excels at warhead interception and is no doubt a pain for bombers to deal with, meaning that it must be taken out or avoided altogether if you plan on attacking a ship mounting these.
