Multicannon not firing [SOLVED]

[Cypren]

So, im pretty good at elite, ive always sued laser based weapons but i decided to use a multicannon recently
Im using a vulture with two size 3 multicannons in the large hardpoints, however they will not fire, they lock onto targets but if i press primary or secondary, they dont do anything.
If anyone has any insight into this please help
Note: when in game, the ammo counter says 90/2100

Oh? Why such a strong dislike of lasers? :)

Check if you have them configured in your fire groups (the game usually reminds you to do it, when you change your weaponry).

Also remember that multicannons take some time to spin up before they begin to fire (I think larger ones take longer).

Thanks for the reply, the court case against the lasers is going well,
but i digress, ive configured them to a firegrup and they just wont fire, ill give the wind up thing a try

There is a slight delay on firing with multi cannons. Also a much longer delay when they are reloading.

Don't know if that is your problem but maybe, since you are accustomed to lasers.
