AP flechette rounds were one of those ammos in SR that really had me going "WTF?"  but this is probably because of years in SR treating Flechette ammo as useless VS impact armor....

they may make an appearance in the new guns and ammo book.....

Gods I hope not, I already have enough trouble with the rigger in my group having put an Enfield AS-7 on his drone and burst firing flechette rounds... it's just murder on defense rolls.

Thankfully he hasn't used a long burst yet, but I'm sure it's coming.

Doesn't do much damage though.

The shotgun with flechette ammo and a wide choke is one of the most under rated squad support weapons available to runners...

Actually, I had the thought of "Full Automatic Shotgun w/ Shot" being your most lethal weapon versus large mobs.

Huh... so that's what they mean when they use the term "assault shotgun" for the Enfield.

Also Auto-Assault. I can't wait until it comes back. :< Only Shotgun worth having for my Sniper.

The weaponsmiths are missing a trick here.

Currently on pg 434, Assualt cannon can only fire the bog standard assault cannon rounds.

That's boring.

Back in 2nd ed, an inventive soul turned out a fan piece with alternate ammo loads for the Panther Cannon.

Granted the normal round is perfect for busting up heavy armor and or vehicles, but why not offer options?

Now a Assault Cannon Gel Round might not really be that much nicer, but sometimes you might have to knock a troll or two out awhile the mage is still recovering from some heavy casting.

Imagine using shot/flechette loads for when you really want a room cleared but don't want to put away your Cannon for the SMG or shotgun. 

Just saying a good weaponsmith can have some fun with this when you think of it as a jacked up shotgun on steroids.

I find the Enfield AS-7 to be a great placeholder for the moment, and with Stick-N-Shock and APDS available for it I may just stay with it, especially if some of the 4th edition mods become available in the gear book.

That might possibly be the first time I've ever heard the word 'boring' when used with the assault cannon!
