Assault Cannon
This weapon is a self-loading machine Autocannon used by Terminator Space Marines. It has six seperate barrels which are rotated by a motor, allowing the weapon to spit out a hail of shells which can easily tear a man sized target appart and throw it several meters.
The Assault Cannon combines high penetrating power with a fast rate of fire. The astoundingly loud noise it makes is enough to encourage any sensible troops to keep their heads down.
Although made from a special heat resistant cermite alloy, the hundreds of shells fired every second quickly cause the weapon to overheat. This high rate of wear has little initial effect, but quickly leads to weapon jams if the weapon is kept in service.
The Assault Cannon can be particuarly dangerous if it jams. The sudden stopping of the motor can cause the weapon to explode killing the user.
