Concord Cannon
The Concord Cannon is a medium Cannon variant that fires three-round bursts at the cost of damage per shot. This weapon is a merit reward in Powerplay.
Usage
The Concord Cannon is available only as a Class 2 gimballed hardpoint. Much like standard cannons, the Concord Cannon is a highly specialized weapon that is best suited for targeted module damage over general hull damage due to its high armour piercing value and hull breach chance. However, the Concord Cannon differs from standard cannons in that it trades damage per shot, armour piercing, and hull breach damage for shot speed and overall DPS.
The main drawback of the Concord Cannon is that since it is exclusively a gimballed hardpoint, it is easily countered by Chaff Launchers.

Bugs
As of January 2025, a bug exists that will prevent the rearming of the Concord Cannon if its magazine is holding less than nine rounds and engineered with the Overcharged modification. The only known workaround is to manually synthesize some ammo before refilling the rest at a station or fleet carrier.[1]
