The Kelswa's main firepower comes from its two [[Grizzard Model 200]] Gauss rifles, which are both mounted in its turret. Backing up the Rifles are a pair of [[Defiance Model XII]] Extended Range Medium Lasers, which are mounted in the tank's front and provide valuable ammunition-free firepower, along with two turret-mounted [[Coventry Heavy Autogun]] Machine Guns. The Heavy Machine Guns' mere half ton of ammunition is stored along with the Gauss Rifles' forty rounds of ammunition in the [[CASE]]-protected body.<ref name=TRO:3145LCp22-76/>
