| | | The '''Explosive Crossbow''' is a weapon commonly used by [[Centurion]] soldiers of the [[Red Legion]], replacing the [[Projection Rifle]] for them. |
| The '''Cabal Bronto Cannon''' is a weapon commonly used by [[Centurion]] soldiers of the [[Red Legion]], replacing the [[Projection Rifle]] for most Centurions encountered since. | |

| ==Overview==
| |
| Unlike the [[Solar]] grenade-launching Projection Rifle, the Bronto Cannon is a direct-fire weapon that fires explosives of [[Void]] energy, more akin to a [[Rocket Launcher]]. Upon holding the trigger, a mechanism visible in the weapon's back pulls a metal rod, in a manner similar to a crossbow. At the same time, the barrels light up and dim down starting from the outer ones and ending at the central one. Once a shot is fully charged, it is discharged with a bright purple light, and it will travel very far, exploding on impact. More experienced wielders have mastered the timing of the weapon's charge, and can fire it very quickly in long volleys.

| It is mainly found in the hands of Centurions, particularly often with the [[Blood Guard Centurion]]s, though it is rarely wielded by high ranking [[Legionary|Legionaries]], [[Psion]]s and in [[Lurg, the Burning Shield|one occasion]] [[Phalanx]]es.

| *The Bronto Cannon is so far the only Cabal weapon that deals Void damage. | | * It is unknown as to why these weapons were used instead of Projection Rifles. |
| *The [[Legendary]] Rocket Launcher [[Pyroclastic Flow]] resembles a Bronto Cannon in its general design.
