The Plasma Blastgun is a Plasma Weapon employed by the Imperium. Generally used against Titans, the Plasma Blastgun can devastate swaths of the battlefield with its superheated blasts of energy. It is able to be mounted on all Imperial Titans as well as certain Super-Heavy tanks and other vehicles.

電漿爆裂炮是一種帝國使用的電漿武器，它通常被用于對抗泰坦，能夠使用超高溫的電漿沖擊波毀滅戰(zhàn)場上一整列的單位。它可以安裝在所有帝國泰坦，某些超重型坦克和其他載具上。

Background背景

The Plasma Blastgun uses the same technology as its smaller cousins, the Plasma Pistol, Gun, and Cannon, but on a massive scale. Unlike its smaller brethren the Blastgun does not suffer from the same overheating problems due to the fact that the massive engines carrying it can install more efficient cooling systems.

電漿爆裂炮與電漿槍使用的是相同技術(shù)，但尺寸巨大。不同于它那些小個頭的兄弟們，電漿爆裂炮并不受過熱問題的困擾，因為能夠承載它的巨大機械能夠安裝更高效的冷卻系統(tǒng)。

?Still, the sheer amount of waste heat and thermal shockwave generated by the Plasma Blastgun can be dangerous to anyone standing too near, requiring some caution when operating around friendly units.

不過 ，電漿爆裂炮產(chǎn)生的巨量廢熱和熱沖擊波對任何靠得太近的人都是危險的，在友軍附近開火時要小心。

The firepower unleashed by a Plasma Blastgun is stupendous, able to defeat Titan-grade Void Shields in a few shots and reduce armour to slag.?For this reason, the weapon is a suitable replacement for the Volcano Cannon in cases where a field refit must be carried out, although the Plasma Blastgun cannot match it in terms of range and requires the firer to get closer their target.

電漿爆裂炮釋放出的火力驚人，幾次開火就能打破泰坦級別的虛空盾，病將裝甲炸成廢渣。因此，當出現(xiàn)必須進行現(xiàn)場整修的情況時，電漿爆裂炮是火山炮的合適替代品，即使前者達不到后者的射程，（開火時）要求炮手離目標更近一些。

The Blastgun also benefits from the fact it taps directly into the plasma reactor of the Titan carrying it, allowing for an unlimited number of shots.Smaller vehicles which cannot carry reactors must make due with massive photonic fuel cells which provide fewer shots, however, even with this in mind the Blastgun is simpler to maintain and supply than other comparable weapons like Turbo-laser Destructors, making it the ideal choice for extended operations.電漿爆裂炮也受益于一個事實：它能直接與攜帶它的泰坦的電漿反應(yīng)堆直接相連，這讓它能無限制開火。無法攜帶反應(yīng)堆的更小的載具必須使用大量的光子燃料電池，這些電池只能讓電漿爆裂炮發(fā)射更少的次數(shù)。但是，即使考慮到這一點 電漿爆裂炮相比于其他類似的武器，比如渦輪激光破壞者也是更易于維護和供應(yīng)的，這讓它成為拓展操作的理想選擇。（機仆：意思應(yīng)該就是說超重坦要換一門反泰坦武器時，電漿爆裂炮是個很好的選擇。）

Like many other plasma weapons the Blastgun has multiple firing modes, able to unleash either a single full-powered blast or a series of weaker rapid-fire shots, increasing its utility against many different types of opponents.

如同其他電漿武器一樣，電漿爆裂炮也有多種開火模式 能夠釋放一次全能量的電漿爆炸，也能進行一系列較弱的快速射擊，提升了其對付不同類型敵人的效用。

Plasma Blastguns can be mounted on the arm hardpoints of Warhound Scout Titans or the carapace hardpoints of Reaver and Warlord Battle Titans.They can also be mounted on the carapace hardpoints of the mighty Emperor Titans.Plasma Blastguns are also the main armament for the Stormblade and Macharius 'Omega' tanks.. Plasma Blastguns also served as the primary weapon of the Hammerblade Fighter-Bomber, an obsolete pattern of Imperial attack craft.

電漿爆裂炮可以安裝在戰(zhàn)犬泰坦手臂的硬點處，以及掠奪者或者戰(zhàn)將泰坦的背甲硬點處，甚至是巨大的帝皇級泰坦的背甲硬點處，它也是暴風(fēng)之刃超重坦和馬卡里烏斯歐米茄型坦克的主武器。它也可以充當錘刃戰(zhàn)斗轟炸機——某種過時型號的帝國攻擊機的主武器。
