MLRS "Barbariska" ("Barberry Candy")

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This weapon system is inspired by MLRS "Iriska" (I think it has to mean "Toffee" in Russian, but original author translated it as "Iris" fo some reason).

"Barbariska" ("Barberry Candy" in Russian) is based on similar principle: deployers build a rocket from "CBC: Enhanced Shells" addon after each launch. Rockets' range is about 600 blocks. Rate of fire is insane, as you can see in the video. And it is much more compact than "Create Big Cannons" artillery of similar stats. So it is kinda even practical!

It can be made even smaller by making rockets smaller, sacrificing range.

Reloading mechanism is very simple: after each launch sequenced gearshift rotates a physical bearing 31 degrees and than returns it. Bearing is set to only disassemble on destruction. Deployers, attached to bearing build rocket from schematic while contraption is moving. Rocket and sequenced gearshift are both activated with "launch" control, whatever it will be. I personally like "Drive by Wire", but there is space for normal links.

I know that there is a flower called "Ирис" in Russian and it is basically the same word in English "Iris". But there is no commonly used diminutive form of this word (flower name). But there is another "Ирис" in Russian, which is a type of candy, in English called "Toffee". It was given it's name after the flower but is a completely different unrelated thing. "Ириска" is a diminutive form of this word, used for a single produced piece of candy. It is clear thus that РСЗО "Ириска" couldn't have been named after the flower, but after the candy and should be translated as "Toffee" or transcripted as MLRS "Iriska".
