Components ‣ Weapons
Weapons are components on an airship. There are two different sizes, light and heavy. Different ships can equip a fixed amount of guns at fixed (light or heavy) gun slots. As a weapon gets destroyed, it will emit a blue shine similar to other components being destroyed. A destroyed weapon will be non-functional in terms of usage and reload of the weapon until rebuilt.

Ammunitions and Buffs
Each class can equip at least one special ammunition type. They can affect every individual stat of the gun they are used on. When a gun is loaded with a special ammunition the gun symbol of the component indicator changes to the symbol of the ammunition type. Therefore it is possible to tell the loaded ammunition by just getting close to the gun.
While applied the effect of the Dynabuff Industries Kit increases the weapon damage by 25% and stacks additively with damage effects coming from ammunitions.
Crosshair and Arming Time Indicator
A targeting reticule helps aiming with a gun. The crosshair animation visualizes rate of fire (In a circling fashion clockwise for the Whirlwind Light Gatling Gun, Dragon Tongue Light Flamethrower and the Manticore Heavy Hwacha. And singular shots for any other weapons.) and displays ammunition reload progression in a circling fashion counter-clockwise.
Weapons with arming time additionally have an arming time indicator that shows a dot on each side of the crosshair when the shot is armed.

- Hit Mechanics - damage calculations, arming time
