Light Gun (Martian)

Description

A light piece for use in the field, sieges, as a fortress gun, or aboard ship.

Like all Martian weapons, each light gun is hand-made.  However, all the city-states and polities in the range of Seldon's former empire (and some regions beyond) build these weapons to the same standard to make the logistics of the use of captured or purchased weaponry simpler.
