Plasma Cannon

This Weapons System coats an area in superheated plasma which sticks to targets and burns through them. The effect is devastating against anyone in the open or unprotected terrain, burning them to a crisp in an instant. The weapon not only inflicts immediate damage against a Mech, it can also cause the Mech's reactor to overheat. This weapon was nearly banned under the terms of the Corporate Council Convention on Inhumane Weaponry. Aeon lawyers successfully argued that since the plasma heats to temperatures comparable to the centre of the sun, any man or woman hit by the weapon would instantly disintegrate and therefore not feel any pain.
