Phalanx CIWS installation questions

For seagull control, I’m thinking of installing a Phalanx. My question is on a 360, would this be too heavy on the bow or radar arch? This is an early model that weights 12,500 lbs. Also, would I need a new battery bank?

    Once you get it installed, I can provide you with all the ammo you need.

    i do have some real concerns about collateral damage. Is this overkill for seagulls who poop on my boat?

    Put a fake owl on top. Just to be on the safe side.

    Not overkill at all. I say do it. It is also good for the wake surf boat that is showing off in front of your marina for hours on end. A little warning shot across the bow usually gets them to stop.
