Beam cannon turret

The beam cannon turret was a laser cannon that was used mainly in the Clone Wars during the Battle of Kashyyyk by both the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The beam cannon fired a steady red laser beam at a direct target for about two to three seconds and afterwards it would have to take three seconds to recharge. In those few seconds it could do a large amount of damage to any infantry unit, and could even take down a destroyer droid's shields in one blast. The turret was often used against infantry units, but it could also do some minor damage to armored tanks during a battle.
