General Dynamics 20mm Light Anti-Aircraft Cannon

The General Dynamics Light Anti-Aircraft Cannon is the first of three Anti-Aircraft weapons produced for the Exo class market. Originally the Exo was never intended to serve as an anti-aircraft platform, however the maneuverability and versatility of the Exo soon saw it being forced into the role with weapons that did not fit the bill. Soon after they proved their worth as AA platforms a few manufactured began supply dedicated anti-aircraft weapons, the first was General Dynamics. The Light AA Cannon is designed to flood the air with explosive tipped rounds. However to reach the maximum altitude possible the weapon could only fire very light ammunition. Even if the rounds exploded near a critical system such as an intake, it would still require many bursts to down a plane. As such the Light AA Cannon is used only as a defensive tool, it lacks the real punch of a more threatening weapon.
