A SubTrope of UnusualWeaponMounting and sister to the ArmCannon, the Leg Cannon is a cannon mounted on a leg, hidden in a leg, or IS the leg.

* Occasionally, in ''BattleTech'', some 'Mechs carry weapons in their legs. In spite of [[CaptainObvious the importance of their legs to the 'Mech's effectiveness]], the limited space and aiming restrictions for the leg locations means most 'Mechs don't mount weapons there, and heat sinks or jump jets are far more common alternatives. Notable examples of 'Mechs with leg weapons included the light Wasp and the heavy Crusader, both of which carry leg-mounted short range missile launchers. One particular piece of equipment called the A-Pod (antipersonnel-pod) is unusual in that its ''only'' allowed mounting points are in the legs. As it is essentially a leg-carried claymore mine, this is justified-- infantry making focused attacks on 'Mechs have to scale them first, and these mines easily shred conventional infantry.
