 The durable and rugged, carbine-styled autocannon is capable of firing any 30mm round, offering users a range of tactical options.  This made it an excellent weapon for heavy armor users who needed a lighter weapon to supplement their larger ordnance. The durable and rugged, carbine-styled autocannon is capable of firing any 30mm round, offering users a range of tactical options.  This made it an excellent weapon for heavy armor users who needed a lighter weapon to supplement their larger ordnance.

 The advent of the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:raider_light_armor|Raider]] made the LCA the first choice of weapon for the smaller, less massive armor.  While the LCA would never have the same destructive power of the HPAR, it was clear that the Raider was not a platform designed to be a walking arsenal like the Hostile.  This made the LCA the perfect rifle to pair with the Raider. The advent of the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:raider_light_armor|Raider]] made the LCA the first choice of weapon for the smaller, less massive armor.  While the LCA would never have the same destructive power of the HPAR, it was clear that the Raider was not a platform designed to be a walking arsenal like the Hostile.  This made the LCA the perfect rifle to pair with the Raider.
