A unique feature of the weapon is the counter-recoil reactive tube above the barrel. This tube funnels gasses from the cartidge out the back end, similar to that of a recoilless rifle or rocket launcher. The blast from this porta-cannon is powerful enough to tear off a shooters backpack or at least set it on fire. The Hispanio cannon round can disable tanks at extreme range.
