Quantico Manufacturing 20mm Drop Gun

The Drop Gun was designed as a back up weapon for the first generation Exo’s with full manipulator capability. The Drop Gun is designed to fold compactly and be locked onto one of the Exo’s hip or back hard points, able to be detached and extended at a moments notice. When the larger Exo’s came off the drawing board the Drop Gun was going to be phased out, however its versatility and cheep production cost saw it through, and as such has remained a main stay of the Exo weapons inventory. Loosely based on the General Dynamics 20mm Light Assault Cannon except with simpler internal working and a shorter muzzle length, the Drop Gun adds much needed back up firepower. In fact its proved to be so versatile and reliable that the light Scout-Recon Exo’s of both the Alliance and the Axis have made it there primary weapon for standard missions.
