The '''Volcano Cannon''' is amongst the most powerful [[laser weapon]]s used by forces of the [[Imperium of Man]], unleashing terawatts of energy{{Fn|9}} in a blazing white laser beam which produces a thunderous crack and tremendous recoil{{Fn|7}}.  == Overview ==This long-ranged weapon is capable of slicing off the arm or leg of a [[Titan]]{{Fn|1a}} or killing an enemy war engine{{Fn|2}} with a single shot, though even a [[Warhound Scout Titan]] with intact [[Void Shield]]s can survive a direct hit{{Fn|10}}. Its firepower is similarly stupendous against lesser targets, reducing a [[Razorback]] to nothing more than a blackened scorch mark{{Fn|8}} and utterly vaporizing a thick hundred meter-tall iron gate as though it never existed{{Fn|7}}.
Volcano Cannons are manufactured in small numbers on just a handful of [[Forge World]]s in addition to [[Mars]]. These included [[Estaban III]], [[Phaeton]] and [[Gryphonne IV]], all of which are surrounded by formidable Imperial defenses.{{Fn|11a}}
