== Specializations ==
Type 	Description
Beam 	Any kind of heavy directed-energy weapon--laser, particle beam, etc.
Cannon 	Heavy projectile weapons--be they a tank gun or railgun--that fires single shots. 
Most TL3 and TL4 cannons--such as ship guns and field cannons--are this type.
Catapult 	Large, direct-fire, mechanical bolt-thrower, such as a ballista. 
Note that this skill covers most siege weapons except trebuchets and arc-fire weapons, which use Artillery.
Machine Gun	Heavy projectile weapons capable of firing bursts. This specialization generally appears in TL5, with the development of mechanical machine guns, such as the 1874 Gatling. 
It's also used for rapid-firing autocannon, including cycling grenade launchers around TL7!
Rockets 	Any kind of free-flight rocket fired from a mount. Includes stick-mounted and box-mounted rockets. 
Developed fairly early, in TL3, but later tech levels are far more accurate and powerful, and are often used on vehicles, such as helicopters.
