Description
The Man-Pack Particle Cannon is a man sized version of the 'Mech PPC. Unlike its larger cousin this weapon has no particle dispersion due to its size and power output. Normally requiring a crew of two using a Bopod mount, A single man cannot normally use the Man-Pack PPC Effectively. However, it is possible with a Waldo unit that allows the wearer to maneuver the weapon like a rifle. Troopers wearing Exoskeletons or their armored cousins can carry The Man-Pack Particle Cannon in their hands. Exoskeleton & Man-Pack Particle Cannon combo was a favorite of Heavy Weapons Platoons and Special Operations Forces before the introduction of Power Armor. The Man-Pack Particle Cannon can be fired in either single shot or burst mode. There is not yet a BattleArmor Mounted model.
