A heavy infantry support weapon, the Merr-Sonn Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon debuted during the Clone Wars, though conceptually, multi-barreled rotary cannons are not without precedent in other cultures. The Z-6 was considered the most evolved of this weapon type, though it only ever saw limited application during the Clone Wars.
作为一种重型步兵支援武器，梅尔-松的Z-6转管爆能炮在克隆人战争中首次亮相，但多管旋转式炮的概念在其他文明中并非没有先例。Z-6被认为是此类武器中最成熟的，但在克隆人战争期间，它的应用很有限。

The Z-6 uses a rotating multiple barrel assembly to bypass the refresh lag inherent in the galven circuitry that lines the barrels of blaster weaponry. Galven circuitry collimates the excited plasma charging through a blaster. The conductive circuitry refines the plasma into the discreet "bolts" that emerges from the barrel. Galven circuitry has practical limits to its exposure to energetic plasma, which dictate a weapon's fire rate. Too much exposure leads to damaged circuitry, resulting in entire barrels needing to be replaced after overheating.
Z-6使用旋转多枪管组件回避加电线路所固有的恢复间歇。爆能武器的枪管上都列装有加电线路。被激发的等离子体高速通过爆能枪时，加电线路能对其校正。这种导电线路会把等离子体校正为射出枪管的细小“能量束”。加电线路暴露在高能等离子体下的时间是有实际限制的，这决定了武器的射速。暴露时间太长会损坏线路，导致整根枪管不得不因过热而被更换。

The Z-6 works around this limitation by incorporating six barrels in rapid rotation, each with alternating galven channels, with the whole assembly wrapped around a coolant-lined core. The alternating galven channels result in longer barrels, but only half of that barrel length has its galven circuitry active with each shot. Furthermore, the time it takes for a barrel to make two rotations is enough to allow the galven circuitry to cool to acceptable levels. This means the Z-6 has a tremendous rate of fire, maxing out at a tremendous 166 rounds per second.
Z-6突破了这个限制。它把六根枪管整合起来，让它们快速旋转，每根枪管轮流使用加电通道，而整个组件包围在一个充满冷却剂的核心周围。轮流使用加电通道导致枪管变长，但每次开火时，只有一半长度的枪管会开启加电通道。同时，一根枪管旋转两次的时间足以让加电线路冷却到可接受水平。这意味着Z-6拥有惊人的射速，最高可达每秒166枪。

The Z-6 has several notable drawbacks. Its high rate of fire means a high rate of ammunition consumption. An armored disk of blaster reactant gas is housed behind the barrel of the cannon. The lasing process and the electromotors that spin the cannon are powered by chained energy cells that give the Z-6 its common nickname, the "chaingun." The gun is heavy and also suffers from recoil. While Merr-Sonn has experimented with gyroscopic mounts and repulsorlift-powered load balancers, such accessories make the already mechanically-intricate weapon exceedingly complicated and prone to breakdowns, particularly in remote operations with unforgiving natural elements.
Z-6有几个显著的缺点。高射速意味着高弹藥消耗率。一个存放爆能反应气体的武装弹鼓被安装在炮管后。激光过程和旋转炮管的电动机由链式能量电池提供动力，因此Z-6常被昵称为“链炮”。链炮很重，后坐力也很大。虽然梅尔-松试验过陀螺仪底座和反重力负载均衡器，但这些附件让本已十分精密的武器机械变得更为复杂和易于损坏，尤其是在自然环境恶劣的偏远军事行动中。

The Z-6 has proven incredibly effective in clearing landing zones, but troops in the field have found it to be too cumbersome and glitch-prone for widespread use. It is instead reserved for special missions with specific tactical demands.
在清理登陆场时，Z-6被证明惊人地有效，但野战部队发现它太笨重，且小毛病不断，因此无法广泛使用。它转而被用于有特定战术要求的特殊任务。

幕后

The Z-6 is essentially a blaster equivalent of real-world miniguns found aboard combat helicopters. They use multi-barrelled assemblies to achieve incredible rates of fire, sometimes up to 10,000 rounds-per-minute. The notion of a soldier-carried minigun was popularized in the film Predator, which inspired numerous other movies and video games featuring burly soldiers hefting along "chainguns." In reality, the recoil, weight and ammunition consumption of such weapons make it impossible to be carried by a soldier.
Z-6本质上是相当于现实世界迷你炮的爆能枪。迷你炮常见于武装直升机上。它们使用多管部件实现惊人的射速，有时可达每分钟10000发子弹。单兵携带迷你炮的概念由电影《铁血战士》普及，很多其它电影和电子游戏以此为灵感，让健壮的士兵手提“链炮”。实际上，后坐力、重量和弹藥消耗让一名士兵不可能手提这种武器。
