The Particle Projector Cannon (or PPC) is a unique energy weapon. PPCs fire a concentrated stream of ions at a target, causing damage both thermally and through impact, causing high amounts of damage to any form of armor. As such, despite being an energy weapon, it produces recoil.[citation needed] The lethality of the weapon rivals that of a higher-caliber autocannon, yet the ion beam extends to much farther ranges than autocannon fire, though PPCs generate large amounts of waste heat.
PPCs are equipped with a field inhibitor to prevent feedback which could damage the firing units electronic systems[1]. This inhibitor degrades the performance of the weapon at close ranges. Particularly daring warriors have been known to disengage the inhibitor and risk damage to their own machine when a target is at close range.
