I read Front Mission Dog Life Dog Style and try to understand why the six-meter Wanzer has such small-caliber gun? They can really destroy something?

What's the caliber?

Realisticuckoldry sometimes goes a bit too far, you see
off topic
Where do you guys download manga? I see online sites like mangafox, but I don't want that. I want nice cbz/cbr files in higher quality.

While it looks small in comparison to the body, that's still a pretty large-caliber gun. Looks to be 30+ mm, which can definitely put a dent in lightly armored vehicles with the right kind of ammo.

I usually get them from the scanlator's website or when they upload to filesharing sites.

When it comes to combat vehicles, you either go autocannon or you go big cannon.
A Wanzer couldn't possibly onehand a 100-120mm cannon, and these can't rapid-fire, so the best they can carry is 20-40mm autocannons like most IFV. This isn't a small caliber by any means, it can penetrate even up-armoured IFVs with AP rounds.
It will do jack shit to MBTs, tho.
Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M242_Bushmaster but with rifle form.
Same reason Battlemechs carry machineguns. To get rid of those pesky infantry!

An A-10's 20mm cannon can rip tanks up. Though there's no way a Wanzer could carry the Gau-8 I guess. Maybe they have the power of the Gau-8 in a smaller form factor. They have walking robots after all, it's not much of a stretch to imagine they have enhanced ballistics compared to us.

I hope that photographer has ear protection

>can rip tanks up
I hate to be that guy, but it no longer can. That may have worked against 70's versions of T-55 and maybe T-72, but it can't really penetrate modern tank armor.
Besides, the autocannons mounted in aircraft are usually less powerful than their ground vehicle variants, even within the same caliber. They tend to use shorter rounds with less recoil.
>>14282785
this art looks really off
Keep in mind that in the FM universe, only armies have Wanzers, with a few exceptions, and even then the bulk of their military isn't made up of that.
That weaponry is for non-Wanzers.

>An A-10's 20mm cannon can rip tanks up
Correction: the A-10 had a 30mm gatling, the GAU-8.
Most fighter planes have 20mm gatlings, like the M61 Vulcan.

IIRC photographer is a ghost or something like that.
>>14283245
actually, Wanzer can be equipped with a fairly powerful weaponry
>>14283325
>>14283242
If this Wanzer about six meters in height, it turns out that his caliber autocannon about 30mm (if caliber guns from tanks 105mm)?
>>14283325
Yeah but that's a zenith and using one is cheating.

Caliber isn't everything, when it comes to penetrating/damaging a target.
Muzzle velocity is pretty important as well, for all we know a Wanzer's autocannon could be firing very high velocity projectiles.
>one of the guys who vehemently hates Getter for no reason likes Front Mission
That is comical.
