AIWS-35 Armored Infantry Weapon System

Type: Witch-use cannon
Weight: 80kg (Fully Loaded)
Length: 221cm
Caliber: 35x228mm (AP/APHE/APFSDS/HE)
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds

The AIWS-35 is a cannon designed to be used by ground witches on their tank striker units, it was developed by the Stupolev Design Bureau after a request for a lightweight cannon by the U.S. DoD to supplant existing 12.7mm HMG and 20mm anti-material rifles commonly used by ground witches, after several months of research the Stupolev Design Bureau came up with the 'Dansleif', a cannon loosely based on the Barret M82 chambered in 35x228mm NATO, testing indicated that average witches could enhance the 35mm rounds to pack a punch similar to that of a 120mm main battle tank cannon, and limited combat testing with the U.S. Marine's Witch Corps provided satisfactory results against armored Neuroi in the Mediterranean theatre.

The AIWS-35 is notable for its use of 35x228mm rounds such as those used by the Bushmaster III auto-cannon series and its advanced Fire Control System that allows for accurate shots while moving and stationary, this is also further enhanced by the use of datalink allowing the cannon to function like an artillery piece and provide indirect fire support.

However, AIWS-35 didn't enter mass production despite its success with the USMWC and lost to its cheaper competitors such as Rheinmetall Rh-30 and Royal Ordnance WL30, despite this, AIWS-35 remains in limited use with various organizations in the world, such as the U.S. Marine's Witch Corps, USSOCOM, German Army's Witch Corps, Russian Army and Marine's Witch Corps, Royal Marines Witch Commando, Indonesian Marine's and Navy's Witch Corps, and many more.

Heavily inspired by Ogitsune's SW1991 tank witch drawings, maybe I'll make my own tank striker unit to complement this cannon lol
