==Overview==
This long-ranged weapon is capable of slicing off a [[Titan]]'s limb{{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}}.Fired upon a [[Hive]], the laser beam of a [[Warlord]]-mounted Volcano Cannon can vaporise an entire section of the Hive's defensive wall and penetrate two kilometres into the structure, leaving only the fused slag remains of former streets and [[manufactorum]]s behind.{{Fn|17}}
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 defences.{{Fn|11a}}
