==Overview==
==Overview==
These weapons resemble autocannons/miniguns that fire [[Solar]] micromissiles in rapid succession, melting [[Guardian]] shields in a matter of seconds. They may or may not be linked to the [[Cabal Battle Network]].
These weapons fire like a modern day chain gun, with their barrels needing to reach a certain spin velocity before they can fire at full efficiency. They unleash a hail of [[Solar]] micromissiles in rapid succession, melting [[Guardian]] shields in a matter of seconds. They may or may not be linked to the [[Cabal Battle Network]].


==Grimoire Description==
The Heavy Slug Thrower of [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx]] was changed into a chitinous weapon with a [[Taken]] core, though its characteristics remained unchanged.
''This devastating squad support weapon is capable of completely halting enemy advances with a hail of microrockets. It performs so well that it has undergone very little enhancement or modification since its introduction. The Cabal's Colossus heavy infantry units wield Heavy Slug Throwers to devastating effect.''


''In Guardian parlance, these weapons deal Solar damage.''<ref name="Heavy Slug Thrower">'''Destiny Tracker''' - ''[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/cabal-arsenal Cabal Arsenal]''</ref>
A Heavy Slug Thrower would later enter the use of the Guardians during a [[Guardian Games]] under the name [[Heir Apparent]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Heavy Slug Thrower is one of only two weapons in Destiny (the other being the Hive [[Cleaver]]) that is utilised by a single enemy type (the Cabal [[Colossus]]).  
*The exotic [[Machine Gun]] [[Heir Apparent]] is a player-wieldable version of the Power Slug Thrower.
**Even amongst the [[Taken]] only one enemy ever wields this weapon, the Taken Colossus [[Primus Ta'aun]], possessing a Heavy Slug Thrower unique to itself.
 
*In Destiny 2's [[Season of the Worthy]], during the [[Guardian Games]], a version of this weapon that can be wielded by player Guardians became available as an exotic [[machine gun]], called [[Heir Apparent]].
