Magic9mushroom: Felt that their unique niche of land air support needed a mention. Displacers care so little about melee attacks that being able to dodge them is minor at best and counterproductive at worst.

	The zrbite power source allows the cannon to fire 99 rounds per battle, and fully recharges itself out of combat. While not as powerful or as accurate, the weapon's main advantage over the man portable [[Sonic Cannon]] is that it can fire three Snap Shots per turn and still retain some TUs that can be used for short moves. The Aimed Shot is unfortunately relatively costly for its low accuracy gain. Like all sonic weapons, it lacks autofire capability.

	The research requirements of the tank mean that, by the time the displacer becomes available, commanders will typically have access to high-tech armor and alien weapons.

It provides great speed, flight on land, moderately heavy firepower, does not need rest, has [[Tentaculat]] ~~zombfication~~ immunity, and good all-round protection that is superior to [[Magnetic Ion Armor]].
