Overview:
The multiple successes of the new Gallowglas Battlemech prompted Blackwell to begin a study
on the possibility of using the design as a base for a new line of Mechs. The Cannon is the
first of these new experimental machines.
The GAL-2DSM (for Down-Sized Model) is a scaled down version the Gallowglas. Like its
larger brethren is is equipped solely with energy weapons, eliminating any dependency on
ammunition, an Endo-Steel skeleton, to save weithy, and a standard engine, to increase
battlefield survival and reduce construction cost.
Capabilities:
The main punch of the Cannon, and the source of its name, is the torso-mounted Sunbeam large
laser. Although this extended range model generates a lot more heat (more, in fact that the
heat sinks can normally handle), it does provide an excellent punch for so light a design.
Unfortunately, the Cannon also suffers from some deficiencies, The choice of standard heat
sinks instead of double strength models reduces the machine's endurance, while the absence
of jump jets is a major shortcoming. However, these flaws may be corrected by use of
Clan-level technology, which Blackwell is reported to have.
