The T-38 AAC differs considerably from the more sleek [[Type-27 Mantis|Type-27 Mantis AAC]]. It is significantly heavier in construction, and as such is more difficult to transport and deploy, though its firepower is generally considered to make up for these disadvantages.<ref name="vis"/> The weapon is able to fire three bolts in a rapid succession before cooling down. Unlike the unprotected observation balconies of the Type-27 cannon, the Type-38's heavy base structure effectively doubles as an infantry fortification.<ref name="vis"/> The base structure has two levels, with a small command center in the ground level, with slopes leading to the second level which also serves as an observation platform.

Each time the cannon fires, a bolt of plasma is generated in the core and fired up into the gun.<ref name="spear"/> The gun's vulnerable [[pinch fusion reactor]] is encased in a shielded power core in the center of the base structure. Destroying this will cause the gun to explode. Alternatively, the back of the cannon is weak, and anti-vehicle weapons such as the [[M808 Scorpion]]'s main gun or the [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]'s [[plasma mortar]] will easily penetrate it and destroy the gun. To prevent this, the [[Covenant army]] routinely stations large amounts of infantry around the gun.
