=== Description ===
 +
 
 +
Mounted on the [[General Motors|GM]] [[Marauder]] [[BattleMech]], this weapon is approximately the size of a tree and fires shells in the 120 mm range in three round bursts.
 +
 
 +
''=== Canon vs Not ===''
 +
 
 +
''The Fluff is rephrased Canon, but the RPG Stats are derivative using the [[Infantry Platoon Creation Rules|IPCR]] for the Damage Stats, and doing a formulaic extrapolation from 180 meters at Short Range to the ''[[MechWarrior, Third Edition]]'' ranges incorporating the +1 modifier that a "Regular" MechWarrior Starts at in the [[MechWarrior, Third Edition|RPG]].''
