The 30 mm cannon system is a system of controller and actuator components that comprise a model of a particular type of ballistic gun.

 This system is configured on a number of ground vehicles in VR-Forces, such as the BMP2 entitiy.

Defined in system defintion file: 30mm-cannon.sysdef

The 30 mm cannon system can be configured as part of a Ground Vehicle.
