Designed in YE 32 by Origin Industries, the Gauss Cannon is a heavy bazooka-like weapon made to give powered frames extra firing power against starships, and to serve as a light artillery piece. The Gauss cannon is a slow firing shoulder aimed weapon, with an equally slow yet long ranged projectile. The cannon has three different options as far as ammunition goes: a tactical nuclear round, loading with a small thermonuclear warhead; an antimatter round containing four grams of magnetically contained antimatter; and a net round which launches a folded net made of carbon nanotubes, with a length and width when unfolded of 10 meters. The cannon has a eight round sickle magazine, and fires 15 rounds per minute at .37c. The Gauss cannon can fold down, for ease of storage and transportation.
