{{quote|Large calibre projectile weapon...|In-Game Description}}

A '''cannon '''is a large projectile based weapon that fires a large caliber round very similar to a current day howitzer. It uses ammunition and therefore will need to be replenished every so often although your ship is capable of carrying a very large amount of reserve ammunition making restocking not a constant priority.

Currently the cannon is available in all three forms of fixed, gimballed and turreted versions.

Weapons

95.96.225.41: /* Ammunition weapons: */ Both plasma and railgun uses some kind of ammo.

[[File:Weaponsforsale.jpg|thumb|220px|Weapons for sale in Asellus Primus]]

Each ship in Elite: Dangerous can equip a variety of energy and projectile based weapons. In addition some weapons are available in either gimballed, turreted, or fixed variants. Weapons are organized into classes ranging from 1-8 (C1, C2, C3, C4, etc.) indicating their relative power usage, damage output, and accuracy. Gimballed weapons are suffixed with a (G) in the outfitting store. Turreted weapons are suffixed with a (T) in the outfitting store. Fixed weapons have no suffix.

Very little information about the specifics of weapons was discussed during the Kickstarter campaign. However, in a Dev Diary video, David Braben confirmed that both beam and pulse lasers would return, as well as missiles. Projectile and plasma based weapons have also been made available.
==Weapons==
Weapons come in wide range of types and classes, which on their turn are divided in subclasses (A-G). An A-subclass being superior to a G, which translate in better performance of the weapon. Standard is a F-subclass.

There are 2 types of weapons; Energy-based and Ammo-based, some of them are of defensive nature like the point defense turret. Weapons generate heat, which increases your signature on the radar. When you have more than 100% heat, you won’t be able to fire (given that you’d be overheating, you probably have other problems on your hands however).

==== Energy weapons: ====
These weapons use a recharging capacitor, they don’t need ammo, but they tend to drain quickly and take time to recharge.
*[[Pulse Laser]]
*[[Beam Laser]]
*[[Burst Laser]]
*[[Stealth Laser]]

==== Ammunition weapons: ====
You can buy ammo for these weapons at any station. Be sure you do or you´ll find yourself unable to fire!
*[[Multi-cannon]]
* [[Cannon]]
*[[Missile Rack]]
*[[Point Defence Turret]]
* [[Mine Launcher]]
* [[Railgun]]
* [[Plasma Accelerators|Plasma Accelerator]]
Regardless of type, all weapons are placed in different mounts, which determine how they aim at targets:

== Weapon Mounts ==
=== Fixed ===
Fixed weapons are rather powerful, but have very little tracking ability - they shoot straight ahead, and can only do minor tracking when the target is within the weapon's crosshairs. Because of this, fixed weapons depend heavily on your maneuverability; however, they are cheap, use little power, and every weapon is available in a fixed mount.

The following weapons have fixed mounts:
*[[Pulse Laser]]
* [[Beam Laser]]
* [[Burst Laser]]
* [[Stealth Laser]]
* [[Railgun]]
* [[Plasma Accelerators|Plasma Accelerator]]
* [[Multi-cannon]]
* [[Cannon]]
* [[Missiles|Missile Rack]]

=== Gimbal ===
Gimballed means that the weapon is hung in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal gimbal]-construction, so it can move independent of the ship's orientation. Gimbal-mounted weapons can keep track of a target even when you're not pointed directly at the target, allowing far more firepower to hit a target. In exchange, gimbal weapons are usually weaker than their fixed counterparts, being one level lower than a comparable fixed weapon. Also keep in mind that tracking systems track ''heat''; if a target is not generating sufficient heat, gimbals will not lock on and behave much like fixed weapons.

The following weapons have gimbal mounts:
* [[Pulse Laser]]
* [[Beam Laser]]
* [[Burst Laser]]
* [[Multi-cannon]]

=== Turret ===
Turrets are fully independent auto-firing weapons that have a 360 degree range of fire. The following weapons have turret variants (denoted by a T).
* [[Pulse Laser]]
* [[Beam Laser]]
* [[Burst Laser]]
* [[Multi-cannon]]
