Description
The Lob Gun is a
heavy mortar designed for both shipboard and siege
use. Hits from lob gun rounds have been known
to down large aerial warships.
Like all Martian weapons, each lob
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.
