Mass-Driver Cannon
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The C-57 is designed to be a versatile alternative to the common laser and turbo laser cannons. These cannons are made to be artillery guns that can be devastating no matter the opponent it faces. It can't properly compete against energy weapons however due to the need for precise positioning to actually hit the intended target while energy weapons fire towards whatever it is aimed at in a straight line.

- The C-57 Mass Driver Cannon has 4 different types of ammunition depending on the situation. These fours rounds are:
- 'Standard'- Standard slug rounds that cause minor explosions on impact
- 'Piercer'- Specialized slugs made to punch through the heavy armor of vehicles
- 'Toxic'- Hollow slugs filled with Dioxis gas on the inside, creating a Dioxis cloud on impact
- 'Incendiary' - Hollow slugs filled with Conflagrine-14 that blanket the area near the impact site in flames.
- Versatile: The C-57 Mass-Driver Cannon can be used in a large amount of situations and can turn losing battles back into the user's favor.
- One Shot, Long Reload: The C-57 only has one shot before it needs to be reloaded again. To make this worse the reload time is rather lengthy as the next (and rather heavy) slug must be loaded into the gun before it can fire again.
- Slugthrower: Since the Mass-Driver uses slugs the cannon must be properly position before firing.
