Mad Science Pulp Electropulse Cannon 25 - 30 mm
This scenery piece represents a large, heavy fixed weapon. It fires a pulsed narrow-beam of supercharged electrical particles capable of breaching heavily armored vehicles and even lightly shielded starships.
Because of its size, this weapon system must be mounted on a stationary hardpoint and is not usually seen on the open battlefield. It is often deployed as part of the defensive systems on larger military installations, industrial complexes, population centers, and larger starports.
This would do well as a victory objective in many science fiction table top miniatures war games including Warhammer 40K™ and Warmachine™. Or it could be used in a pulp or super hero setting as a prototype weapon of mass destruction created by a mad scientist working toward world domination.
Whatever the game system you are using, this terrain piece will certainly attract some attention on your game table.
The cannon is about 6 inches (150 mm) in overall length. The base is 4-3/4 inches (120 mm) in diameter.
