Heavy Blaster Cannon

About the Heavy Blaster Cannon

The heavy blaster cannon is the blaster cannon taken to its logical, terrible conclusion, a crew-served-class weapon that a single exceptional soldier can just barely wield. Its bolts land with the force of light vehicle armament, gutting cover and shredding armor that would shrug off a lesser weapon. This is the gun a defending force plants at the mouth of a chokepoint when they mean for nothing to get through, and it earns its place by sheer overwhelming output. The mass that gives it that power also makes it a burden: no one carries a heavy blaster cannon and moves quickly, and bringing it to bear takes time an ambusher won't grant. But for holding ground, breaking a charge, or turning a fortified position into a killing field, there are precious few infantry weapons in its class.
