==== Notes ====
A slightly bigger and more powerful version of the [[mark III howitzer]], this time dealing thermonuclear damage instead of blast damage.

This weapon has an increased [[http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/wiki/game/george_thoughts?s[]=wmd#weapon_of_mass_destruction|WMD]] rating, but it is classified as a military item, so the [[commonwealth military identification chip|Commonwealth Military ID]] will usually be needed in order to install it.
