<div align=justify>
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. 
The Phaser Cannon can be fired by a single,
extremely strong operator, but the Cannoneer
is assisted by Rifleman/Tender, who carries
extra gear. 

The R/T carries the following:  -An extra power pack of 50 charges 
 -A gyro stabilized tripod, for use in sniping
and when firing from a fortified position 
 
STATISTICAL INFORMATION: 
 

Cannon 
Width : 60mm ~2.3 in 
Length: 1100mm ~43 in 
Weight: 6.8kg ~ 15 lbs 

 
Backpack Power supply 
Width : 300mm ~11.8 in 
Length: 450mm ~17.7 in 
Weight: 6.8kg ~ 15 lbs 

 
Tripod 
Exact width and height is variable.. due to
telescoping legs. The tripod allows the weapon
to be elevated up to 609mm~2ft high. 
Weight: 4.5kg ~ 10 lbs 
 
Total energy reserve: (separated mode)
10x10^9 megajoules in hotswappable sarium-krellide
pack. 

 
Settings- Full range of non-lethal,
thermal, and disruptive settings allowed in
Type IV range. 
 
FIRING MODES: 
The PPC fires one once per trigger pull.

<ul>
<li>Single - as in any other phaser weapon,
one shot per pull of trigger. </li>

<li>Sustained 
- 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. </li>
<li>Broad Beam/Cone Effect
- 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.

</li>
<li>Randomization

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

 
TARGETING 
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.
