The cannon volley gun sounds like it would be an absolute riot once it's loaded with special cannonballs. One acid cannonball is ded killy, so obviously more would be even killyer right? Maybe two cannons, one in each 'hand' slot, so you could follow up one special cannonball with another?

The 25mm field gun sounds like it would end up as "Armored Car but worse" and I can't see it being that great on the battlescape. Might be a good fit for Male Touch, but I'd still rather just have an actual A-Car. Rather, for the lowtech 2x2 heavy weapons platform niche, something like the ratman reaper cavalry might be fun. Get a Reaper Cav, swap the rotogun for a 25mm autocannon, put a Lok'Naar (peasant? slave? gal?) on top, and there you go. Heck, just get the Gal Hyena Rider and give her a cannon.

I like these thoughts. I should note that "Armoured Car but worse" is intentional. My idea for the field gun is that you could manufacture it as soon as you acquire a 25mm. Add a 14mm and punt gun while we are at it. More orky is always more better

add new kit? Field guns.
Early game 2x2 units gals can use. High firepower but low mobility (TU = 50?). Big guns that gals may already have access to but reconfigured.
The bandits already have the 25mm.
2x2 wheeled pirate cannon. Alternate to the hand held cannon but much higher fire rate and reload.
Volley gun. 4x pirate cannon with 1 or 4 shot option.
Same idea with MGs, grenade launchers, rockets, and mortars.

a 2x2 wheeled pirate cannon might be used by the males on their patch, while a volley gun might be added as a gal-only unit, since wuld be rather heavy to move and smewhat slow to operate, in fact might require lots os TUs..

a hyena might not bear the weight of a cannon, i'd suggest to use it on tamed reapers since these appear to be more strong (?)

1) A close-range attack. The opponent can deflect the attack completely. How to deflect chainsaw blade with hands is to our imagination.

Clap your hands on either side of the bar.
