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. 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. The PPC also happens to be one of, if not the only, unique weapon in the BattleTech universe.
