Multicannons are ugly!

The Bofors have been on naval craft since World War 2. Given that they are really just 4 barrels firing in async or sync is beyond me, but these look magazine fed into a quad barrel (we've seen the Bofors on plenty of experimental AA platforms) where as multi-cannons(gatling autocannons) are belt fed rotary weapons

Well, you could alleviate some of the torque needed by using the escaping gas from firing a round to spin the barrels and it would essentially accelerate the spin.
Bear in mind I'm not talking about the design from an engineers point of view but from artistic one. Class 4 MC fit 34th sentury just fine but C1 and C2 don't. Same goes for lasers. Maybe I'm wrong but I have a feeling the guy who designed these weapons no longer works for FD, newer weapons look nothing like the old ones, it's a diferent design style.
And yes, generally you can't see the weapons from your cockpit but don't forget the screenshots. Lots of us like to take them with our hardpoins deployed. You don't even need to see them, you just know they look good. And I know you know what I'm talking about
Did you read my first post at all?

This would be a bad thing for weapon design. You need consistency when dealing with explosives.
Yup, this.
Concept art is just that, a concept. The final product will usually vary and as long as it does the damage I need then life is good.
I disagree.
The problem with S1 and S2 is that their art is damn ugly compared to most other assets in the game.
maybe we will see updated retexturing or even a whole new MC model when the time comes. After all if the asset is aged and their already doing visual improvements on a number of other various weaponry and classes, no reason why they wouldn't want to update it. I don't really see anything wrong with them other than looking like a M61 Vulcan or an M134 or a typical gatling gun. Other than maybe adding a more high tech flavor to it, HELL LETS ADD CHROME LINED BARRELS, CARBON FIBER ACTUATORS AND HYDRAULIC PUMPS. LETS ADD A INDIVIDUAL LASER DESIGNATED POD ATTACHED TO THE WEAPON FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING.

i rather see an update for the conda cockpit, cause if you compare it to the Corvette is bland and a bit boring.
I just hope that there is an exhaust pipe into my cockpit. You cant beat the smell of multicannon in the morning.

These look more like those leaf blowers we can obtain at Home Depot
...not badass enough imo ( maybe its just that yellow trim that does it)

Perhaps the name that FDEV gave these cannons -multicannon- is not perfect. Smaller C1-2-3 are clearly gatlings, or rotary cannons, new C4 looks like autocannon (or perhaps chain cannon). As you said difference is pretty big, how they work and being fed.
I believe the term Multicannon refers to the fact that they are multi-barrel weapons of cannon caliber. The terms gatling cannon or autocannon also apply to the C1 and C2 multis.
Different weapon manufactures, same damage/ammo/power but different mechanisms and designs?

They new guns are just rapid fire self loading guns.
There are belt fed Bofors in existence.
