Description

This high-powered, recoiless slugthrower can be fired in short bursts to devastating effect, although the sizes of its housing and power supply require it to be mounted on a MEC. Prior to our research on heavy lasers, we had no access to a small enough power source.

Effective range: Medium; 6-8 base damage, 10% critical chance, 11-13 critical damage
Miniaturized power supply derived from laser tech.
Only equipped by MEC troopers
Risk of catastrophic overheating precludes suppression with this weapon

Source: XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012)
