Heavy Cannon vs Gas Cannon
Appearance
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.
