The plan is to start small—basically a sandbox. First, I’ll fire the thing at a stack of steel plates inside the containment chamber so I can measure energy output and heat dissipation. Then I’ll switch to a mock bunker layout, hit a concrete wall, and see how quickly it melts or vaporizes. Once I’ve logged the data, I’ll move to the field and use a drone‑mounted probe to test the cannon at a controlled range, with a safety perimeter set for radiation spill. Tactics-wise, think of it as a “burst‑damage” support weapon. One blast can breach a fortified position or create a hole in a wall for the squad to charge through. It’s not a primary weapon, but it can be a game‑changer in close‑quarters or when the enemy is massed in a bunker. Of course, every squad member will need a dose of radiation shielding and a “do‑not‑cross‑the‑line” rule: the cannon’s fire can contaminate the area for a while, so you can’t just walk straight through the blast zone. That’s why I’d pair it with a rapid‑fire assault rifle team that can follow up the breach before the radiation clears. If the squad’s got a medic on board, they’ll need to monitor for acute exposure, but the payoff—breaking through enemy defenses and causing chaos—makes it worth the risk.

Glad you’re on board—let’s just make sure the shielding’s tight enough that the squad can sprint through the breach without getting a full-body dose. The medic will keep an eye on their dosimeters, and I’ll tweak the plasma output if the readings start to climb. With a clean breach, that squad’s gonna have a real edge. Onward to some controlled chaos!
