​

Intent: To make a cannon to be used on battle platforms, meant to fight armored units
Development Thread: None.

Model: Durasteel Fist Cannon
Affiliation: Relovian Military and Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel​

Description: The Battle Cannon is the anti-vehicle of the Relovian Armed Forces. It can pierce armors that weaker cannons could not, it was meant to fight off light vehicles and pierce the out-shell of battle-platforms. This weapon is the most easily attainable anti-vehicle cannon on Relovian. The cannon can at best pierce 2-inch thick durasteel, which is the intent of the cannon.​

​

Strength​

+ The Cannon is more powerful than comparative weaponry, the effect of firing all of its ammo in a single shot.​

+ Even though it is a large weapon, the Cannon can be moved.​

+ Due to the fact that the majority of Relovian Military using battle-platforms that do not use energy shields, this cannon pierces the average 2-inch think durasteel hulls.​

​

Weaknesses​

- The Cannon requires manual reloading after every shot.​

- It is incredibly heavy and cannot be moved without considerable work on the part of men or machines.​

- The recoil on the cannon is incredibly large and it is suggested that no one be within a meter of the hind end of the cannon when firing.​

- Because the gun uses energy blasts, en energy shield will absorb the shot with only a large draw on the power source.

Much. Thank you.
I'm going to ask you to beef up your description a bit. As it stands, it feels unusable. Why only have one shot when I have more? What kind of a punch does this thing have? What's the recoil like?

Is that a little better?
First time working at this size of a weapon.
