General Dynamics 20mm Light Assault Cannon

The Light Auto Cannon is designed as a general-purpose rapid-fire weapon. Its higher damage rating then the Ultra Light places it in a mid-class range of Ant-Infantry and Anti-Exo use. The General Dynamics Light has become a very popular weapon with private defense forces and police who enjoy the fair damage it inflicts without the worry of destroying local structures with ricochets and wild fire. The weapon is designed with rugged durability in mind and has all its main features and mechanisms stored inside its armored exterior shell. The weapon can be dismantled for travel or cleaning within minutes and reassemble in fewer than 5 minutes. The rugged design allows the butt of the weapon to be used as a blunt instrument without fear of damaging the internal mechanisms. The underside of the Light Auto Cannon has a universal adapter that allows it to have a bipod, a rifle grenade launcher or a laser sight added without the need for physical modification. In the case of the laser sight a small cable it feed into the side of the gun that causes the sight to activate when any pressure is placed on the trigger. If no pressure is one the trigger then the laser shuts off to save energy and prevent detection.
