Any chance Large weapons with the naming convention "Dual Medium Weapon" will be changed to use Medium sized ammunition instead of Large ammunition? Weapons with the same calibre should use the same ammunition, no matter how many barrels they have. Can you imagine trying to fit an ostrich egg into a double barrelled shotgun? The answer is a bad joke about making omelettes, but that's neither here nor there. Example: a 650mm Artillery cannon takes medium ammunition, but a dual 650mm Autocannon takes large ammunition. Excellent point! They've an extremely futuristic system of cutting ammo in the half during firing :P Huh! Buy once, use twice! ^.^ Also, this will also lead to a tracking discussion, where a huge powered battleship will have much more power to feed their turrets' internal tracking engine than their Cruiser and BC counterparts. Turning one more barrel shouldn't drop tracking that much in this case.

It's like saying Automatic Autocannon. We have Minmatar here! :D They first implemented a cannon, shooting once, then they implemented autocannon, which was also shooting once :P Nowadays, I am using repeating autocannons, which also shoot once, but the guys working on that compartment are so experienced and got faster every other day that they convinced opposition in a way that their ship is actually using "autocannons" :P (Shhh! I actually hired two personel in a space of one, illegally, showing 1 on the paper and just trying to pay only one's tax!)
