Game Description

“This specialized version of the recoilless cannon shoots lighter projectiles but has a higher fire rate.”

Tactics

This is a thoroughly useless weapon- its damage and projectile speed are low enough that when it does hit, its damage is more often than not negated. It was previously used on the Centauri Raiders up to version 0.98d, but was dropped from all ships in version 0.99.
