The assault cannon was a fully-automatic weapon used by the Phase II Dark troopers. It was a modified Imperial Repeater Rifle weapon. 1.2 meters long, the wide body had two barrels with two triggers. It fired plasma shellls and long-range explosive rockets.[2] Blasts from this weapon were extremely lethal, capable of punching through body armor and killing soldiers in a single shot. Only soldiers equipped with a Personal energy shield could hope to stand a chance against a trooper equipped with this deadly weapon.
Though the weapon was exclusively designed for the Dark Trooper battle droid, an ordinary soldier could grip, aim, and fire it. Kyle Katarn was able to acquire such a weapon during the campaign to eliminate the Dark Trooper Project, using it to great effect in keeping Phase II Dark Troopers at bay.
