This is the undisputed king of all beam cannons in FreeSpace 2, beating out the MjolnirBeam and BFGreen. Four of these cannons easily destroy a GTD Hecate in a single shot (Bearbaiting).

Really fun to play with when using cheats. If you force both primaries to this, you can take down an SJ Sathanas in a couple of shots.

Or take BFReds on both of the slots in an Erinyes. 8 BFREds will take down a Sathanas in one hit.
