Perfect

The linear cannon is a very accurate high-tier heavy weapon that is powered by energy cells, and which fires vibro projectiles.

Other than rare, randomly-generated relic firearms, the linear cannon is notable for being the only missile weapon with vibro projectiles, although arc winders and high-voltage arc winders may serve a similar purpose due to not using PV at all.

Vibro Penetration

Main article: Vibro weapons

The linear cannon's vibro projectiles have adaptive penetration that always matches the target's AV value, meaning that they are almost guaranteed to penetrate and deal damage. This makes the linear cannon an excellent weapon against very high-AV targets, such as leering stalkers or chrome pyramids. However, the tradeoff is that the linear cannon will usually only penetrate once or twice, and will almost never penetrate more than 3 times; on average, it will penetrate 1.56 times, dealing ♥20.28 damage. For lower AV targets, a weapon with fixed PV that is significantly higher than the AV of the target would typically do more damage.

Probability Damage Dealt
At Least 1 Penetration 99.2% ♥2d122-24 (Avg: 13)
At Least 2 Penetrations 47.9% ♥4d124-48 (Avg: 26)
At Least 3 Penetrations 8.7% ♥6d126-72 (Avg: 39)
At Least 4 Penetrations 0.3% ♥8d128-96 (Avg: 52)
At Least 5 Penetrations 0.0001% ♥10d1210-120 (Avg: 65)
