** Frag Cannons are marginally better on the tabletop, thanks to having a high AP trait score to make up for lower overall power and they're frighteningly good at removing Infantry squads, but they have a lot of specialized competition in either role. At least in Medium and Heavy form, that is. The Light Frag Cannon is a much maligned piece of kit that is far more commonly found as a backup attachment to Autocannons equipped on budget versions of Gears than as a dedicated weapon.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After the animated series was released, the tabletop game said that the series exists in-universe as Southern propaganda.

* ScrappyWeapon: The Fragmentation Cannon. Besides its usual problems as a ShortRangeShotgun, it has one of the worst performance ratings in terms of damage, firing rate, and ammo capacity in the two video games it appears in. This weapon can barely scrape a light-class Gear's hull, let alone a tank, that it might as well do ScratchDamage. Even worse, the first weapon you start off in the game, the Light Autocannon, embarrassingly outclasses the Fragmentation Cannon in every other aspect concerning performance, turning the cannon into a JokeWeapon.

*BrokenBase: The animated series by Mainframe. It is either an enjoyable show about fighting mechs in its own right or a terrible adaptation for being LighterAndSofter, too much focused on the fighting tournament and not using the warfare storylines from the game.
