Airburst Pulse Cannons are modified Pulse Cannons designed to detonate mid-flight even if they miss their target. This makes them particularly effective against small, evasive ships.

They gain Advantages or Disadvantages depending on the target’s Size Rating; +2 Advantage against Size Class 1, +1 against Size Class 2. Against a Size Class 3 it gets a -1 Disadvantage, which turns into -2 against Size Class 4, and -3 against Size Class 5.
Against creatures, they gain a +3 Advantage, though their use against people is considered a war crime by both the Halsand Empire and the Othenian Kingdom due to the severe maiming they cause, resulting in unnecessary suffering.
