Mauler Bolt Cannon[2]
The Mauler Bolt Cannon was a Bolt Weapon used by the Legio Cybernetica of the Adeptus Mechanicus.[1]
A field-support weapon founded within the Skitarii and mounted on certain battle-automata, these bulky automatic cannons differed from the more common heavy bolter only in calibre, with the Mauler using substantially larger shells with a proportionally larger and stronger gun-frame needed to handle the recoil involved. The weapons were jealously guarded secrets by the Mechanicum.[1]
