Snowspeeder 2

Two heavy laser cannons point forward on the T-47 airspeeder

Laser cannons were powerful laser weapons that were commonly outfitted to vehicles, starfighters, and starships. A laser cannon could be fixed in place or attached to a turret or ball-mounted swivel, allowing the weapon to aim and fire in many directions.[1]

Description

ATTE-ST

All Terrain Tactical Enforcers and their many laser cannons

Battle droids that were equipped with laser cannons included the DSD1 dwarf spider droid, the LR-57 combat droid, and the B2 super battle droid which had a double laser cannon built into its wrist.

During a skirmish on Florrum, pirates loyal to their leader Hondo Ohnaka mounted a laser cannon on a tripod and used it to ambush some pirates that had turned against him.[2]

A type of laser cannon that was used as a personal heavy weapon was referred to as a rotary laser cannon, rotating laser cannon, or rotary blaster cannon. Such weapons were used by clone troopers Hardcase[3] and Thorn.[4]

Manufacturers of laser cannons included Sureggi, whose product was on board the Auzituck anti-slaver gunship.[5]
