General Information

The Hydro-Jet Cannon is a semi-automatic firing variant of the Gas Cannon. It is identical in function with the addition of a three shot burst and a larger shell feeding system at the cost of a small amount of stopping power.

The Hydro-Jet Cannon's one major fault is its locking mechanism that prevents it from being fired normally on land. A similar mechanism can be found on the Torpedo Launcher and Disrupter Pulse Launcher.

USOpaedia

  • Hydro-Jet Cannons are a heavy infantry weapon system. The cannon fires magnesium fuelled mini-torpedoes. Although powerful, the Hyrdo-Jet Cannon is a clumsy and unwieldy device, suitable for aquatic use only.
