"Volée" Battleship Cannon:

Particles and their bothersome precision was a topic of several discussions. Leading to experimental versions for snubs which were too power demanding until a decision regarding its upscaling was made. After that, a large turret housing was projected, built and filled with four particle generators and a single amplifier. In order to level the powerdraw, nanocapacitors are integrated into each turret with high-current thyristors set to release energy every 0.5 seconds. A true "space shotgun" based on the idea that more fire will increase the chance on hitting. Deadly at close range, yet useless in long range combat as it has a problem with hitting a battleship at the edge of its range.

MB10a “Lewis” Battleship Cannon:

240mm cannon inspired by historic books. As brute force weapon using explosive projectiles that have virtually zero effect on enemy shields but once it's not present, the pounding it gives can compare to Heavy Mortar. In addition it's a two-barrel configuration where both fire their "bullets" in slightly different angles, which can prove rather useful against enemy battlecruisers. With a simple loading mechanism and using gravity field stabilizers together with electromagnetic coils along with diamagnetic projectiles, this gun can hit its intended target with exceptional speed and force.
