Description
The Thumper Artillery Piece is the smallest conventional artillery piece with an effective range of 10.5 kilometers.[5] While an effective Field Artillery weapon, the Thumper is perhaps best known for its use as the main gun on the SLDF's Thor Artillery Vehicle, as well as the Brooks Incorporated knock-off vehicle, the Thumper. It is later mounted on the Danai Support Vehicle and a variant of the Padilla Artillery Tank, as well as the Cloud Ten Airship Carrier and Schwerer Gustav FrankenMech.
