Mass Driver Cannon

WC 1-3 Specs

Service Date: 2650

Penetration: 45

Energy: 12 nJ

Range: 2000 k

Refire Delay: .30 sec

Information:

The mass driver cannon is common on both fighters and light defender ships in the fleet. A solid gun in either case, it uses a linear accelerator to fire projectiles of metallic mass at a target. The mass driver is a staple in the Terran arsenal and has even been used against planets and asteroids.

This basic fighter weapon has medium-to-long range, good damage potential, and is reliable and accurate. Heat buildup, refire time and power drain are minimal, and the mass driver requires less energy per shot than most blasters.
