I'm fairly sure I know what the "F" in "BFGreen" stands for, and it isn't "very." It is apparently what results when Terran beam cannons are overdriven.

This beam is massive, no arguments about that. The size of the beam is one reason why I dare not fly too close to the Colossus in High Noon. I readily admit, however, that the sound it gives off is pretty awesome.

Funnily enough, no ship comes standard with this weapon. All occurrences of this gun are via FRED.

The BFGreen was only used once - in Endgame - and only on one of the Colossus's turrets. It is also positioned so that it cannot fire.
