The cannon fires large shards of self-tracking blamite capable of detonating in a massive combined explosion when multiple shards are impaled in the same area.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder}} The heavy needle cannon allows the Vampire to quickly overwhelm enemy air forces with a large barrage of blamite.{{Ref/Reuse|HW.com}} The Vampire is also armed with two [[medium plasma cannon]]s, with one mounted on each side of the aircraft. These plasma cannons, serving as the Vampire's secondary armament, automatically track and fire on enemy targets via an actuator plug, over which the pilot has intermittent control.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | ||
In addition to the aircraft's already impressive armament, the Vampire is also equipped with a [[stasis cannon]] mounted in front of the cockpit,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} though this cannon is not a standard feature on all Vampires.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder}} The cannon renders targeted vehicles immobile and their weapons inert by way of an [[electromagnetic pulse]]. The Vampire's stasis cannon is quite adaptable, offering several upgrades at the operator's discretion.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | In addition to the aircraft's already impressive armament, the Vampire is also equipped with a [[stasis cannon]] mounted in front of the cockpit,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} though this cannon is not a standard feature on all Vampires.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder}} The cannon renders targeted vehicles immobile and their weapons inert by way of an [[electromagnetic pulse]].
