Doorbreaker Plasma Cannon

The Doorbreaker is a three-barreled plasma cannon created by NAM in YE 36, initially for the NAM Terratech Heavy Assault Armorsuit - "Devastator" but later for use with other Nepleslian power armors.

About the Doorbreaker

The Doorbreaker was NAM's attempt to create a powerful direct-fire weapon that did not have any area of effect. The NAM "Wolfhound" Heavy Multipurpose Railgun HMR-01a could not be modified to fit the requirements. As a result, NAM went to the drawing board and, using the NAM Light Plasma Autocannon LPA-01b as a starting point, came up with the three-barreled Doorbreaker. Functionally, it is little more than three Light Plasma Autocannons re-designed into a single platform with the beam function replaced by an overcharged triple blast. It can also be toggled to Machine-Gun mode, where each barrel fires a single shot in rapid sequence, allowing users to lay down streams of plasma bolts.
