Range: 2000ft (600m).

Rate of Fire: Equal to the combined hand to hand attacks of the pilot.

Payload: Unlimited.

Gun Cluster - 32mm Auto Cannon:

3. Shoulder Missile Pods: These missile compartments/launchers are heavily armored, protecting the missiles from detonation by enemy fire. The missile pods also serve to protect the shoulder joints. Different missile arrangments are assigned for speicific missions or assignments. Straight combat missions often rquire the entire payload to be High Explosive (med) short range missiles.

Mega-Damage: Varies, most commonly High Explosive (med.) SRMs- 1D6X10 per missile.

Range: HE (med.) missiles have a range of 2 miles.

Rate of Fire: Can be launched in volleys ranging from 1 to all 12 in that launcher.

Payload: 12 missiles per pod, for a total of 24 short range missiles.

4. Heavy Missile Pod: Mounted above the right shoulder, opposite the searchlight, contains a total of six, medium range, medium warhead missiles. The launcher is capable of 180 degree rotation and an arc of 90 degrees up and down.

Mega-Damage: Varies, most commonly High Explosive (med.) SRMs- 2D4X10 per missile.

Range: HE (med.) missiles have a range of 40 miles.

Rate of Fire: Can be launched individually or in volleys of two.

Payload: Six missiles total. Manual reload, from somebody outside, requires proper equipment and takes a minute and a half (6 melees) to complete.

5. Twin, Leg Missile Pods: Each pod (4) contains three short range missiles. The pods flip open facing forward, allowing the Excaliber to fire them at any target within its forward view.

Mega-Damage: Varies, most commonly High Explosive (med.) SRMs- 1D6X10 per missile.

Range: HE (med.) missiles have a range of 2 miles.

Mega-Damage: 5D10+25 per blast.

Range: 10,000ft (nearly 2 miles).

Rate of Fire: Each cannon can fire four blasts per melee.

Payload: Unlimited.

7. Hand to Hand: Instead of using weapons, the pilot can engage in physical combat with an enemy. Note: All physical bonuses the pilot posseses outside of the mecha DO apply when inside the mecha. i.e.: +2 to damage outside the mecha will provide an additional +2 to damage to every kick, punch, or body block performed by the mecha.

Punch: 1D6 MD.

Body Block: 1D4 MD

Stomp: 1D4 MD; only effective against objects of 12ft tall or smaller.

Note: The Excaliber can not jump, leap, kick, or climb. It can not pickup or carry objects unless they are huge and can be balanced on the PBC arms. Maximum weight: 8 tons.
