| |
| − | The '''Semi-Portable Particle Cannon''' (also known as the '''Man-Pack Particle Cannon''' or '''M-PPC''') is a man sized version of the '[[Mech]] [[PPC]] able to fire in single-shot or burst mode. Unlike its larger cousin at close range this weapon does not suffer from particle dispersion due to its size and power output, however it is still not small enough to be carried and fired in combat by a single man, usually requiring a crew of two and the use of a bipod mount.<ref name="TRO3026">''Technical Readout: 3026'', p. 110</ref> Thanks to it's semi-portable nature though it is possible for a single person to use the M-PPC by themselves, either through the use of a [[Gyroscopic Harness]] such as a [[w:Remote manipulator|Waldo]] unit or by wearing an [[Exoskeleton]]. The cost and size of the M-PPC makes it impracticable for any but elite commando units to employ,<ref name="TRO3026"/><ref name="LT126"/> while the long recharge time between each shot makes it similarly unpopular.<ref>''A Time of War'', p. 276</ref>
