Component:mk-25-rebound-pdt
In Game Description
The Mk25 'Rebound' fires short-range 50mm flak rounds, detonating roughly in proximity of the approaching threat, typically missiles or personal craft. As the weapon lacks a Fire Control radar it is entirely reliant on the host warship's sensors, but is highly resistant to radar jamming and can operate off of visuals

Lore
Flak guns will never be replaced, it's the main ingredient of warfare, like contractor kickbacks and rhetoric-spouting politicians- something the Alliance has in spades these days. A while back, Constantine tried to make a move on the Brass and get the humble Rebound struck from development doctrines but that put everybody in a bad mood and that afford got dropped pretty quick.
Rebounds got a nice spot in the Alliance roster after the Deshima Blitz revealed the first ammunition troubles for the AN, depots were getting drained of defender rounds at an eye-watering speed, but the ANM had plenty of 50mm sitting around in Badnarik for the sponson guns on the NAV-10. Naval Office took a shipment, fixed on some prox-fuze,[2] and called it a day. Surprised everybody when it turned out to be just the solution we needed.
