The Blaster Cannons are best suited for short to medium range combat, Their fire rate depends on the ships however as they may fire either one "shot" at a time and fire twice as fast such as on the T-65 X-Wing or fire two shots at twice the speed and overheat quicker such as on the Micro LEGO ISD. They don’t have a warm up like the Beam Laser and can be fired for a long period without overheating (With certain exceptions). They also deal a good amount of damage and thus are one of the most common weapon systems used as most of the combat does take place in short to medium range combat. They are found on the Interceptor and Fighter Class of ships and are ideal for offense and defense during Cruiser Assault and Deathmatch.
