# Gun

{% hint style="info" %}
Guns are for visual effects only. No Damage is rendered, and impacts are not tracked.

UNSUPPORTED: Gun effects are not rendered across multiplayer.
{% endhint %}

The gun has ammunition loaded by default, on initial spawn of the aircraft. Ammo is limited to 125 rounds per cannon, and can only be reloaded on the ground through the Loads Management Menu. 

Refer to [Loading Weapons](/miltech-fighters-m2k-c/aircraft-and-systems/weapon-and-defensive-systems/loading-weapons.md) to familiarize yourself with the loading procedures. Please also familiarize yourself with the PCA and PPA panels here [PCA and PPA Panels](/miltech-fighters-m2k-c/aircraft-and-systems/weapon-and-defensive-systems/pca-and-ppa-panels.md)

1. **Switch on** the Red Master Arm switch in PCA. 
2. **Switch on** the Red Gun Arm switch, located in the gear panel, just next to the landing gear handle.
3. **Use the PCA** (leftmost button on the lower row of pushbuttons) to select the cannon configuration. K1 indicates only left cannon is used, K1K2 indicates both cannons are used.
4. Now Use keybind **`TOGGLE WATER RUDDER`** to use the gun. Gun sight will be automatically visible on the HUD, and you will be able to see the shots and tracers.
   1. For FS24 Users, make sure the keybind has INPUT REPETITION enabled, in order to press+hold for continuous rounds.
5. **An alternative gun sight ("HAUSSE") is available.** Refer to [Head-Up Display (HUD)](/miltech-fighters-m2k-c/aircraft-and-systems/avionics-and-radar-systems/head-up-display-hud.md) for more information. 
6. **The HUD provides plenty of useful information,** such as rounds left, gunsight, AoA, etc. Refer to [Head-Up Display (HUD)](/miltech-fighters-m2k-c/aircraft-and-systems/avionics-and-radar-systems/head-up-display-hud.md) for more information.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/miltech-fighters-m2k-c/aircraft-and-systems/weapon-and-defensive-systems/gun.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
