Static Screen - Weapons - Heavy Blast Cannon (HBC)
Ballistic Weapon
The Heavy Blast Cannon is a destructive weapon whose shells consume the target in a massive explosion. Like the Blast Cannon, it will cause additional overall damage to armor and shielding, and it is also very limited in ammunition.

1* The numbers in parenthesis next to the damage indicators represent the amount of damage inflicted after phase has been factored in. Due to the complexity of the damage formulae, I have opted not to include the damage inflicted through phasing.
2* Firing a weapon before it has fully rearmed will result in reduced damage. However, contrary to popular belief the damage rate will NOT be affected at constant fire.
3* Any weapon with a blast radius has the potential to do more overall damage (shield, and armor damage) if the blast radius consumes more than one part. This explains why BCs, HBCs, and sometimes EMPs do phenomenal shield damage.
