<p><font size="4">The PPC is a portable version 
of the Type IV Phaser found on shuttles and 
small craft, as well as a refinement of the 
previous Marine Phaser Cannon. The cannon 
part is rather short (but blocky) to facilitate 
rapid maneuvering of it. The power pack contains 
energy for some 50 shots, with higher output 
lowering the number of shots.<br><br>
The Phaser Cannon can be fired by a single, 
extremely strong operator, but the Cannoneer 
is assisted by Rifleman/Tender, who carries 
extra gear.<br>

The R/T carries the following: <br>&nbsp;<span lang="en-us">-A</span>n extra power pack of 50 charges <br>
<span lang="en-us">&nbsp;-A</span> gyro stabilized tripod, for use in sniping 
and when firing from a fortified position<br>

</font>
<ul> 
<li><b><i><font size="4">Single</font></i></b><font size="4"><b> -</b> as in any other phaser weapon, 
one shot per pull of trigger. </font> </li>

<li><b><i><font size="4">Sustained </font> </i>
</b><font size="4"><b>- </b>A sustained beam or stream, 
useful for cutting through obstacles down 
or wearing down force fields or the target's 
resistance. Activated by holding the trigger 
down after firing. </font> </li>
<li><b><i><font size="4">Broad Beam/Cone Effect<span lang="en-us">
</span></font></i></b><font size="4">- Either mode 
can be fired in widebeam or cone effect. At 
the cost of multiple charges, the beam can 
be made wider or even fired with a cone effect.
</font> 
 </li>
<li><b><i><font size="4">Randomization</font></i></b><font size="4"><b>

</b>- The PPC comes with 
integral frequency variation circuitry, which 
can be activated regardless of the type of 
fire. </font> </li></ul>

<br>
<b>TARGETING</b><br>
A Taccorder is set into the Cannon, but normally 
the data is displayed on the Palls Helmet 
VISOR, The taccorder can be adjusted and operated 
by hand but it has been found more efficient 
and faster to use pupil tracking and voice 
commands in battle conditions.</font></p>
