Grumman
40mm Heavy Assault Cannon
|
|
The pinnacle of Grumman’s foray into the Exo Class weapons
market id their Heavy Assault Cannon. Its stopping power is
comparable to a Light Assault Tank or Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
The weapon is usually reserved for officers and heavy Exo’s,
although it can be handled by any of the Alliance Exo designs. The
Heavy Assault Cannon fires the same rounds many Anti-Aircraft
Batteries aboard Naval vessels fire, thus ammunition for this
large bore weapon are extremely plentiful. In the battlefield the
extra penetrating power of the Heavy Assault Weapon comes in handy
when tank hunting and defending a location from heavily armored
aggressors. The only draw back to the Heavy Assault Cannon is its
limited ammunition supply, a problem that Grumman is currently
trying to solve as quickly as possible. For the moment Grumman has
offered an incentive program to the Military, they are supply all
the ammunition clips that military wants at no charge. Many field
technicians have started armor plating the barrel of the cannon,
in close combat the long barrel sometimes gets damaged or bent
preventing the safe use of the weapon. To solve this problem a
simple sheet of armor plate is mounted on the barrel, Grumman is
currently looking into the permanent inclusion of the modification
in their next big production run. The last feature of the weapon
is its standard issue folding bipod. Located on the lower cylinder
are two stowed legs that can be unfolded in seconds to allow the
pilot to effectively use the weapon when in a prone position.
