the FLAK Attack Cannon

The FLAK (Field Light Attack Cannon) is essentially a really big gun. This Howitzer cannon is a 105mm assault weapon that can be used to attack all kinds of targets, from stationary enemy fortifications to mobile land and air vehicles. Unlike most Joe weaponry of this type, though, the FLAK isn't very mobile.

However, while the FLAK lacks wheels for convenient transportation, it does make up for that in sheer, field-proven versatility. The FLAK itself fires shells that, on impact, inflict Incredible (40) Edged Attack damage, damage that is equally applied to everything within one area of impact site.

This, of course, assumes that the FLAK is loaded up with conventional ammunition. Should a mission warrant it, the cannon can be loaded up with smoke canisters (to obscure enemy vision), flares (to light up a given area), rocket-assisted projectiles, and more - all of which function at Remarkable (30) rank.

The FLAK is assisted in its functions by these additional features:

Remote Laser-Assisted Sighting Camera: the FLAK's combat efficiency is enhanced by this electronics suite, which eases the acquisition of target solutions for the cannon's operator, reducing the difficulty of striking mobile targets by a total of -2 CS (no actual bonus though, per se).

Stabilizer Legs: the FLAK is fully equipped with hydraulic stabilizer legs, enabling it to be utilized in almost any terrain, assuming that solid ground is handy. Deepest desert, darkest jungle, or iciest tundra - it makes no difference, as the FLAK can fire the same in any of these terrains.
