2nd Martian Rifle
I think that the CX4 is actually a different build of the APS UAR. Tested did a video where Adam Savage examined some of the guns and helmets from Season 2, and you can see this rifle briefly at the bottom of this shot:

Rocinante Point Defence
I think the gatling guns on the Rocinante are a lot more comparable to the Phalanx than the M134 in terms of size, role and stopping power. Geomax (talk) 14:37, 21 March 2017 (EDT)
