The GTW-15 Avenger Cannon is a Primary weapon which was used during the Great War. The main advantage of this weapon was that it was the only weapon that could inflict damage to Shivan shields during the onset of the Great War. Its predecessor, the ML-16 was ineffective against shields and had to be replaced. After the development of the Prometheus, the Avenger was no longer the preferred weapon of GTA pilots.

Tech Room Data
A rapid-fire, computer-controlled radar and gun system - capable of firing at a rate of more than 4500 rounds per minute - used primarily for close-defense situations - uses closed-loop radar technology to locate, identify, and direct a stream of highly destructive 45mm projectiles to the target.
With the advent of shield technology, the GTW-15 is preferred over the ML-16 in any ship that can carry it. It's extra damage against hulls make it one of the best anti cruiser weapons. It has also proven very effective against Vasudan fighters. However, it's substandard anti-shield capabilities make it a poor choice for dogfighting Shivans, although far better than the ML-16.
Veteran Comments
The Avenger is a fine weapon, due to the lower energy demand, it is sometimes even more ideal than the Prometheus. Why? Because therefore you don't have to divert so much power on your lasers and you are able to have more energy on shields and energy.
I always like coupling this with a GTW-32 Flail Rifle. I call it the "hook and flail" combo.
The Avengers speed, and therfore, its accuracy is greater than that of the GTW Prometheus as well, if you don't have excellent aim or intend to engage at fair distances, the Avenger serves well.
