Battle Cannon mounted on the turret of a Leman Russ Battle Tank

The battle cannon is a larger and heavier version of autocannon, its size restricting its use to vehicles only.¹ It is the primary weapon of the Leman Russ Battle Tank, where its explosive shells can decimate both infantry and other armour.² In addition to high-explosive and anti-tank rounds, it can also fire Infernus, smoke and illumination shells.³
