Denel 35mm Dual Purpose Gun

The Denel 35mm Dual Purpose Gun is a Close In Weapon System (CIWS) usually fitted to Naval Vessels. Designed to shoot down Helicopters and Fixed Wing Aircraft the Gun can also be used in ship-to-ship warfare and is able to acquire and destroy ariel targets automatically. Due to low weight and compact size the weapon can be placed on smaller vessels then most counterpart CIW Systems.



Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Endgame
A Denel 35mm Dual Purpose Gun System is seen mounted on the Shadow Company Frigate USS Triton. After acquiring the decryption code and planting C4 in the ship’s armory Captain Kyle "Heron" Rickland used the gun to shoot down an SH-60 Seahawk and a pair of AH-64 Apaches that were harassing the TF-141 Dock Complex. After leaving the ship on a Zodiac Rickland witnessed the Triton and her weapon systems destruction at the hands of General Shepherd.

Trivia
It is strange that Shepherd would choose the Denel Weapon over the American Made Phalanx System. The again he also had access to Exocet Missiles suggesting that Shepherd was trying to bring allies into the upcoming 3rd World War.

The experience with the Denel Weapon System partially inspired the Call of Duty: From the Cold Level The Malestrom.
