→Armament: If a Predator Destructor replaces its autocannons for lascannons it becomes an Annihilator
===Armament===
The main turret armament on the common Mars pattern MarkVIb Predator Destructor is the Syrtis pattern [[Autocannon]], which is constructed with an automatic ammunition feed, muzzle flash suppressor and discharge extractor.<sup>4a</sup> The weapon is aimed by the vehicle commander/gunner through a multi-spectral remote targeting [[surveyor]] and accuracy talisman.<sup>4a</sup> It fires explosive ammunition, each round larger than a Space Marine's fist, which easily chew through heavily-armoured infantry and light vehicles.<sup>3</sup> For improved anti-tank capability, Predators can replace the Autocannon with [[twin-linked]] [[Lascannon]]s.<sup>3-p143</sup>
The side sponsons can mount either [[Heavy Bolter]]s for close defense or [[Lascannon]]s for additional anti-tank firepower. The sponson weapons are remotely controlled from the turret and aimed through similar surveyors.<sup>4a</sup>
