## Twin Shot

A twin stream of rapid firing shots that was unleashed directly in front of your sjip. This is one of the initial weapons and couldn't be lost upon death.

## Hyper Shot

The hyper shot was the blue blaster head that originally appears from Namco's 1984 shmup game Gaplus. This hyper blaster head was first appeared in Parsec 5. Again, after you defeat the Queen and rescuing this hyper blaster head, your ship's shot becomes upgraded into double firepower and twin shot. This hyper blaster head also appears in all Virtual Galaga franchise. In the original Virtual Galaga game while you have this hyper blaster head, your ship's shot will increase your number of your shots and your firepower.

## Nirai Impulse Cannons

### Nirai Impulse EX 1

The Nirai company once specialized in low cost, mass-market productions. Unfortunately, there was an incident in which an entire batch of the fighter cannon FX series exploded simultaneously in various locations around the galaxy, due to a date error in the on-board computer software. After the hasty closure of all the Nirai factories in Festus and Dima, no new weapons were manufactured. The fighter cannons of the EX series are a living relic.

### Nirai Impulse EX 2

The Nirai Impulse EX 2 is a Nirai type fighter cannon that was the successor of the Nirai Impuse EX 1 and the predecessor to the Nirai Charged Pulse. The Nirai Impulse EX 2 fighter cannon was more stronger than the Nirai Impulse EX 1 and little weaker than the Nirai Charged Impulse or other types of fighter/gatling cannons, laser, and double weapons.

### Nirai Charged Impulse

The Nirai Charged Impulse was an rather old fighter cannon that was manufactured by the defunct Nirai company. It was created many years ago as its flagship pulse laser weapon. It used to be priceless but has decreased in value over the years and is now pretty affordable. 2 of those fighter cannon weapons was equipped and preinstalled on the Phantom as a twin shot during the beginning of the main storyline of GOF2 during the attack of pirates.

## EMP Blaster Cannons

### Luna EMP mk-I

The Luna EMP mk-I fighter EMP cannon disrupts the electrical integrity of a vessel, causing the various systems to fail and shut down completely. The Luna Blaster mk-I was an weak but fast firing EMP fighter cannon, which should be in every armory. The Luna EMP mk-I is the predecessor of the Sol EMP mk-II and Dia EMP mk-III EMP blasters. They don't cause physical damage to the ship. The word Luna means "moon" in Latin.

### Sol EMP mk-II

TheSol EMP mk-II fighter EMP cannon was a more expensive version of the Luna EMP-mk-I EMP blaster. In the issue 693 of Fire and Forget magazine, the Sol EMP mk-II EMP blaster was only scored 58 out of 100 in its hardware review. The reviewer suggested pilots would be better saving their money and putting it toward the more expensive is predecessor; Dia EMP mk-III. The word Sol means "sun" in Latin. Or another type of Sol was a citadel tower from Xevious.

### Dia EMP mk-III

The Dia EMP mk-III was created out of necessity after the invasion on traders became increasingly common. The company GalacticArms saw a good business opportunity and developed a powerful EMP blaster weapon, which was then seized by pirates. The upside is that the pirate raids on dealers tend to be less dangerous those days as trader ships are usually only paralyzed, rather than damaged. It was the successor to the Sol EMP Mk II. The word Dia means "day" in Latin.

## Vossk Cannons

### V'skorr

The V'skorr is the fighter cannon weapon of the Vossk Empire. It is manufactured in huge numbers and exported everywhere. A cheap but effective weapon. The V'skorr laser is the predecessor of the Sh'koom fighter cannon.

The V'skorr is Matt's Gryphon's main fighter cannon.

### Sh'koom

The Sh'koom is the fighter cannon that was overhauled and is the successor to the V'skorr fighter cannon could deliver more damage rate even though it also has an increased firing rate and could only be a minimally decreased rate of fire. The V'skorr's description says that it was the standard fighter cannon of the Vossk Empire for the H'Soc fighters use the Sh'koom, indicated by it's sound when firing, so it is technically not the standard fighter cannon.

The Sh'koom was also the standard fighter cannon of the Initia Confederation for the Wraith fighters (especially Alex Parr) use the Sh'koom, indicated by it's sound while firing.

### N'saan

The N'saan is a Vossk fighter cannon that means, "little stab" in Vossk language and is a garden variety of a fighter cannon weapon. The word N'saan looks similar to the word of the car company *"Nissan"*. This fighter cannon is also required as a blueprint item for the H'nookk, it has the lowest level of this Vossk fighter cannon and this fighter cannons is the predecessor of the K'booskk blaster..

### K'booskk

The K'booskk is the successor Vossk fighter cannon to the N'saan. It has more efficient in every area of performance and is definitely preferable to its successor. Despite that the statement in the game description, the K'booskk is slightly better than N'saan fighter cannon that deals the same damage with only a minor reloading speed advantage.

### Sh'gaal

The Vossk fighter cannon Sh'gaal means "scar" and refers to something every Vossk was born with. The weapon's name is thanks to the famous warrior Zrrot Grykk who was exiled on Narsaxa. Zrrot managed to regain the favor of the leader, which he had previously lost after making bad and inappropriate advances.

### H'nookk

The H'nookk is one of the Vossk's deadliest fighter cannons. It consumes too much energy that the Vossk H'Soc fighter had to be rebuilt because some Vossks wanted to equip their fighters with this fighter cannon. This was before Hervarar series were introduced and hitted the market, which offers greater power with less energy and power consumption.

## Berger Cannons

### Berger Focus I

The Berger Focus I is an Berger fighter cannon that was manufactured bu the Berger company. It was one of the pioneers of interstellar weapons technology that also includes some fighter cannons. The Berger company flooded the market for every 50 years with a series of new weapons in various designs to suit every budget. This is the weakest Berger fighter cannon in the universe. This is the predecessor to Berger Focus II A1, Retribution, and Converge IV.

### Berger Focus II A1

The Berger Focus II A1 is an another Berger fighter cannon that was part and also created by the Berger company and this Berger fighter cannon was successor of the Berger Focus I and the model of this Berger fighter that looks like the ORN Empire's standard weapon or Cronus' double weapon; Dark Matter Laser. This was also the predecessors Berger Retribution and Converge IV.

### Berger Retribution

This relatively strong fighter cannon from the Berger company has one of the fastest rates of fire on the market, second only to the Converge series of weapons. The game's description for this fighter cannon is quite misleading. Although it states that the Berger Retribution has one of the fastest rates on the market, this is only true when compared to other laser weapons of the same type. It also states that it is second only to the Converge series of weapons. While the Converge IV (the only weapon from the Converge series to appear in the game) surpasses the Retribution in several areas, including damage, rate of fire is not one of them as the description implies.

### Berger Converge IV

The Berger company introduced the Converge series of powerful fighter cannon weapons to the market a few years ago. Although the technology is currently being replaced by the more powerful fighter cannons, the Converge remains popular with all races. The Berger Converge IV is the most powerful of the Berger weapons, and an effective late-game choice for the primary weapon slots. Although it is only a barely more than half as powerful as the similarly-priced Tyrfing Blaster, it has an extremely large advantage in terms of range over the Tyrfing Blaster (about 2.5x as much range). The Converge IV gives you the same range as the weapons that the enemy carries, giving you ability to exchange fire with them evenly rather than close in. Its damage is not up to standards with its price, but its range makes up for the damage lost since you can begin firing 2.5 times earlier. The Converge IV is a slow-firing weapon though, so it is not advised for players with poor accuracy.

## Blaster Cannons

### Gram Blaster

The Gram Blaster is an entry-level weapon for the Hervarar fighter cannon series. It is also the choice weapon for pirates. Terran Federation engineers are responsible to bring the amazing Hervarar series of weapons in the market. The Gram Blaster is an deadly fighter cannon, easy to use, and looks very good. The Gram Blaster fires pink orbs about three times a second. Predictably, it deals less damage at the lowest projectile speeds of the Hervarar series, though its damage per projectile is the same as its successor, the Ridil Blaster. However, its range is the best of all damage-dealing blasters, shared with the H'nookk at 1600 metres.

### Ridil Blaster

The Ridil Blaster fighter cannon that comes from the famous Hervarar series and is the faster version of the Gram Blaster. It was less powerful but has a slightly faster firing rate. Despite what it was stated in the description, the Ridil Blaster deals just as much damage as the successor Gram Blaster and the predecessor Tyrfing Blaster. It has an increased firing rate, making it a very powerful weapon, although its range has been reduced by 300m compared to the Gram Blaster, turning the range from short to downright abysmal.

### Tyrfing Blaster

This fighter cannon is the pinnacle of the Hervarar series that is almost deadly as the Gram Blaster, but much faster. In wrong hands, this weapon poses an enormous threat. Like the successor Ridil and Gram Blasters, the game's description of this fighter cannon falsely implies that this weapon deals less damage than the Gram Blaster. In reality, the Tyrfing Blaster surpasses the Gram and Ridil Blasters have both damage and loading speed. Like the Ridil Blaster though, the Tyrfing Blaster has less range than the Gram Blaster, something that the Gram Blaster lacks in the first place. In terms of damage, the M6 laser weapons all do more, but less per second. Its range makes it only useful once you have closed in on the target.

## Disruptor Laser

The Disruptor Laser is a powerful fighter cannon with a very high rate of fire. This was introduced inValkyrie as a free blueprint. This fighter cannon was built by Khador's friend Netor. The prototype of this fighter cannon was stolen by the octopod criminal Trot Lykkt who pilots the Nivelian Type 43. The high effectiveness of this fighter cannon could be attributed to the use of artificially grown crystals that has high optical density. The expensive lens was designed to achieve a wavelength of exactly 438.511nm, which corresponds to the resonance frequency of modern shield systems and therefore destabilizes them. If you don't want to make this weapon confused, see Lord British's Disruptor laser weapon from Gradius Gaiden or Salamander 3.

## Machine Cannons

### Micro Gun mk-I

The Micro Gun mk-I is an entry-level machine cannon. Weapons of its class, on average, have a very high rate of fire at the cost of having much lower power per shot. It is introduced early in the game before Keith's first battle at Var Hastra as a free weapon. 2000 years later after its invention, ballistic weapons still haven't disappeared from the scene. The Micro Guns from this weapon are very good value.

### Micro Gun mk-II

The Micro Gun mk-II was an slight improvement and the successor of the Micro Gun mk-I. You might want to purchase another fighter cannon, machine cannon, laser, or double weapon instead, as it isn't enough of an improvement to warrant of this price. This fighter machine cannon was a little weaker unlike the Micro Gun mk-I but little stronger and medium fast rate.

### 64MJ Railgun

This gatling machine cannon weapon uses an 64MJ Railgun's reactor to generate lightning clouds very fast that it contains the most of their energy when they connect with their target. The 64MJ Railgun is the predecessor of 128MJ Railgun machine cannon. The 64MJ Railgun looks like a M134 Minigun or M61 Vulcan. The 64MJ Railgun was the predecessor of the 128MJ Railgun.

### Scram Cannon

The Scram Cannon is one of the fastest gatling machine cannons in the market. The technology was very simple that anyone could build one of those gatling machine cannos weapons from scratch, but it is still preferable to get an original design, handmade by technicians, inventors, and droids. This fighter cannon has the fastest firing rate much like the Mass Driver MD 10 and MD 12.

### 128MJ Railgun

The 128MJ Multirail gun was the first weapon in nearly 200 years to be withdrawn from the market and have its production ceased by the manufacturer. The recall was instigated due to the high instability of the fighter cannon, which was prone that causes unpredictable and devastating explosions. Clever inventors have succeeded in recreating this weapon from materials that are relatively easy to procure. The blueprint could be purchased from (???) at Kallsta Omba space lounge in Eanya system.

### Mass Driver MD 10

Alongside with homing Thermo missile weapons, the Mass Driver MD 10 has the fastest rate of fire on the market like the Scram Cannon. But unfortunately, its production requires vast quantities of resources, so the weapon is very rare and popular target for thieves, who steal them from unattended ships. The Mass Driver MD 10 machine cannon is the predecessor of the Mass Driver MD 12. The blueprint could be purchased from (???) at K'mirkk space lounge in Y'mirr system.

### Mass Driver MD 12

The Mass Driver MD 12 is by far the deadliest ballistic weapon that is legally available on the market. The penetration power of the Mass Driver's projectiles is significantly enhanced by an artificial coating which the bullets receive only moments before they're fired off. This procedure results in a damage rate that is absolutely unrivalled for this kind of weapon. It was the successor of the Mass Driver MD 10 and could only be purchased by Jakk Zoboon in the Kaamo Space Lounge. This machine cannon was mounted and preinstalled on top of Pike's Blue Fyre during the game Pike: Supernova Assault.
