Description
The Snub-Nose PPC is to a Particle Projector Cannon as a sawed-off shotgun is to a shotgun. Rediscovered by the Draconis Combine from a Star League concept that didn't take off at the time,[1] this version of the PPC is slightly lighter than a standard PPC, but its energy discharge trails off considerably faster, leading to shorter range and reduced damage capacity over range. An interesting side benefit is the dramatically increased short range factor, longer than almost any other weapon.

Notes
- The Snub-Nose PPC was reportedly designed and distributed by the Star League to the SLDF during the reign of First Lord Jonathan Cameron, in particular its Royal Divisions.[7]
