	The Gas Cannon is a powerful infantry weapon that uses highly pressurized gas to launch ~~a shell~~ through the water or air at great speeds. It can load three different shell types. The first type has an armour piercing tip that can punch two times more armour than the [[Jet Harpoon]]. The next and most popular shell is tipped with high explosives. The final is round that releases a phosphorous explosion on ~~contact. The three different ammunition types allows the user to tailor the weapon to suit the situation by simply loading the correct shells~~.		The Gas Cannon is a powerful infantry weapon that uses highly pressurized gas to launch powerful shells through the water or air at great speeds. It can be operated on land or sea.

	~~Unlike its rapid firing counterpart,~~ the ~~[[Hydro-Jet~~ Cannon]], ~~the Gas Cannon can be fired in and out of the water~~ and ~~offers more stopping power~~. ~~Deciding whether to trade off between losing an automatic attack or gaining the~~ ability to ~~use it anywhere, or even vice versa, is a strategic decision best left to~~ the ~~Commander~~ to ~~decide~~.		The primary feature of the Gas Cannon is its ability to load three different shell types: '''Armour Piercing''', '''High Explosive''' and '''Phosphor'''. The ability to load variable ammunition types makes the Gas Cannon adaptable to various tactical situations.

	Like all heavy weapons, the Gas Cannon is ~~slow, bulky~~ and ~~requires~~ a ~~fair amount~~ of ~~strength to wield properly and carry several additional ammo belts~~. ~~Nevertheless~~, ~~it remains as one~~ of ~~the more popular starting~~ weapons~~. Commanders that have progressed far into~~ the ~~war have been known to continue using~~ the Gas Cannon ~~along side the newer weapons, if perhaps only in smaller quantities and for use in highly specialised purposes~~.

They are ideal for sniping as well as close range combat for when collateral damage is not desirable.

	~~The Gas Cannon is significantly better than the~~ [[Heavy Cannon]] of the First Alien War, and makes a somewhat convincing argument to become the standard armament of all Aquanauts of appropriate strength. With two more shots per clip, less reloads are required; the power of the weapon can make reloads unneeded with efficient use. Accuracy ratings at identical. Snapshots take slightly longer, but the Aimed mode cost is down to compensate. Damage is up across the board, and the weapon can be used effectively anywhere.		See [[Heavy Cannon vs Gas Cannon]]
