The Demolisher Cannon is a short-range, large-bore direct fire cannon mounted on various Imperial vehicles, but most commonly on the Baneblade, Leman Russ Demolisher and Vindicator. Primarily designed with siege, urban, and bunker-busting warfare in mind, the cannon has also been known to be of great use against enemy vehicles and infantry, destroying both with equal ease.

粉碎者加農(nóng)炮是一種安裝在多種帝國載具上的短射程大口徑直射火炮，它最常見的搭載平臺是毒刃，黎曼魯斯粉碎者坦克和維護(hù)者攻城坦克。它主要被設(shè)計用于攻城戰(zhàn)，城市戰(zhàn)和掩體破壞作戰(zhàn)。它在對抗敵人載具和步兵時也極其有效，能輕易毀滅兩者。

Overview綜述

The Demolisher fires special ammunition much larger than that used in the Battle Cannon, allowing it to punch through layers of concrete and plasteel alike. A Demolisher shell is constructed with an outer layer of standard high explosive and shrapnel, which surrounds a chemical core. Upon impact, the explosive layer detonates, punching a hole in the enemy's armour and spreading shrapnel over a wide area. It also starts a chemical reaction in the core, causing it to super-heat into a jet of plasma, which lances through the compromised armour, spreading molten death over a wide area and literally ripping the target from the inside out. The tremendous recoil produced by firing the cannon is capable of lifting the front end of a tank off the ground and, were it fired while moving, risk causing it to roll over.?However the cannon has an effective range of one kilometer,limiting its utility to short-ranged combat such as urban and siege warfare.

粉碎者加農(nóng)炮發(fā)射的特殊炮彈遠(yuǎn)大于那些用于戰(zhàn)斗坦克的，能夠穿透多層混凝土和塑鋼。粉碎者炮彈由標(biāo)準(zhǔn)高爆炸藥和彈片構(gòu)成外層，里面則包裹著化學(xué)核心。擊中目標(biāo)時，爆炸性外層會被引爆，在敵軍的裝甲上穿出一個洞，并將彈片散布在廣泛的區(qū)域里。核心中也會開始化學(xué)反應(yīng)，導(dǎo)致它過熱形成電漿射流，射流會穿透破損的裝甲，在廣泛的區(qū)域里散播融化的死亡，字面意義上從內(nèi)到外撕裂目標(biāo)。加農(nóng)炮開火時產(chǎn)生的巨大反沖能夠?qū)⑻箍说那岸颂щx地面，如果在移動時開火，就有翻車的風(fēng)險。不過粉碎者加農(nóng)炮的有效射程只有一千米，這也將它的效用限制在了城市戰(zhàn)和攻城戰(zhàn)等短距離作戰(zhàn)。

The Demolisher Cannon used by Vindicators fires a special siege shell, consisting of an armour-piercing tip, heavy shell casing and a massive explosive charge micro-fused to allow penetration of a building or bunker before detonating. The siege shell is launched thanks to an on-board rocket engine, which uses solid propellant shaped to control its time and rate of burn for maximum accuracy. In order to avoid the build-up of rocket blast-back, this gas is vented when the cannon is fired to prevent the barrel from deforming or bursting from over-pressure. The sheer size and mass of the shell, however, reduces its stowage capacity and accuracy over long ranges, even with fin stabilisation and booster burns.?As such it is also limited to being used for destroying enemy fortifications and fighting in close-quarters combat such as jungle warfare.

維護(hù)者使用的粉碎者加農(nóng)炮會發(fā)射特殊的攻城炮彈，炮彈由穿甲彈頭，重型彈殼以及大量能在爆炸前穿透建筑物或碉堡的微熔炸藥。多虧了使用固體推進(jìn)劑來控制其燃燒時間和速度以獲得最大準(zhǔn)確度的火箭發(fā)動機(jī)，攻城炮彈發(fā)射了（機(jī)仆：這原理好像跟毒刃加農(nóng)炮一樣…）。為了避免火箭爆炸（殘留氣體）的積累，加農(nóng)炮開火時會排出這種氣體，以防止炮管因超壓而變形或爆裂。然而，即使有鰭片穩(wěn)定和助燃器，殼體的純粹尺寸和質(zhì)量也會在降低其儲藏能力和長距離精度。因此，它的作用被限制在摧毀敵軍工事和進(jìn)行諸如叢林戰(zhàn)的近距離戰(zhàn)斗。
