About the Heavy Repeating Wrist Cannon
A chassis-mounted heavy repeater in the tradition of the IG-series assassin droids, this wrist cannon exists to deliver overwhelming, sustained fire from a mount no organic arm could steady. Bolted to a droid's forearm or a powered exoframe, it feeds from an internal magazine and cycles fast enough to saturate an area, either concentrating on a single target or sweeping a full autofire spray across a square to catch anyone unlucky enough to be standing in it. The IG-88s and their kin turned such weapons into legend, their multiple arms letting them lay down fire from angles that pinned entire teams. The cannon's power draw and recoil demand a mechanical mount, so it is effectively the province of combat droids and heavily augmented fighters. Where it appears, cover becomes suggestion, and standing still becomes fatal.
Notes
IG-series chassis-mounted heavy repeater. Autofire option: instead of a single attack, target a 10-ft square; all creatures in it take 2d8 Energy damage (DEX save halves).
