Products
MW-265 ‘Electric Eight’: A rotary cannon with eight spinning barrels and massive ammunition feed system capable of supplying the weapon for what seems like endless rounds of firing, the ‘Electric Eight’ is a common M-9 Marauder suit option because of its tactical flexibility and high kill rates
MW-206 Light Rotary Cannon: A refinement of rotary machinegun technology, the MW-206 is a light version of the MW-265 ‘Electric Eight’ weapon that graces the M-9 Marauder suit. It sacrifices stopping power for a much longer range, allowing the M-8 to engage targets at a greater distance before closing into hand-to-hand combat. The light rotary cannon chambers the same grade of ammunition as the MW-265 ‘Electric Eight’, allowing its munitions to be interchanged in an emergency.
MW-5050 ‘Twin 50’ Autocannon, TW-102-s ‘Peacemaker’ Pistol, TW-109-e ‘Emancipator’ Heavy Pistol, TW-111-p ‘Reaper’ Pistol,XW-103-S7 Shotgun

A manufacturer of advanced pyrotechnic weapons systems.
Headquarters: Hesperus City, Hesperus, Alpha Centauri
Products
SW-226-F ‘Hel’ Infantry Flamer,
TW-121-f ‘Tinderbox’ Flamer
A powerful if short ranged weapon, the TW-121-f ‘Tinderbox’ flamer is used to clear away dense formations of enemies or burn down fortifications and terrain.
SW-226-f ‘Hel’ Heavy Flamer
A deadly upgrade in size, fuel capacity and range on the TW121-f flamer, the ‘Hel’ flamer is a heavy weapon carried by special troopers trained to use its ‘swath of death’ to great effect. The Hel flamer fills an area 30 feet-by-30 feet with fire. Alternatively, a wall of fire ten feet thick and 45 feet wide can be fired anywhere in conjunction with the operator so long as he is adjacent to the centre of the wall on its long side.
Twin Voight & Gromann SW-226-f ‘Fireball’
This special adaptation of the Voight & Gromann SW-226-f ‘Hel’ flame thrower takes the operative parts of two SW226-f weapons and places them into the arms of an M-8 walker. These weapons are mounted in the hands of an Ape Marauder and are used in tandem against targets. Used in tandem, the ‘Fireball’ flamer fills an area 60 feet-by-60 feet with fire. Alternatively, a wall of fire 20 feet thick and 90 feet wide can be fired anywhere in conjunction with the Marauder so long as he is adjacent to the centre of the wall on its long side. These weapons can be fitted in place of the twin Morita TW-203-s ‘Ape Special’, but the two systems cannot be mounted on the same M-8 Marauder suit.
SW-219-f ‘Inferno’ Support Flamer
This weapon is a major upgrade of the ‘Hel’ flamer and generated the same width of blast but an extended range. A powerful offensive option, it tends to be used on Chickenhawks expected to see a great deal of close combat.
