Okay I am trying to do a conversion of a vehicle from another game into a BT version, it list the vehicle has having a 75mm Spigot as it's main weapon so the question would be what BT weapon should I use to simulate this or mimic it?

I could go with a Thunderbolt. That is an oddball to mimic. How much tonnage are you wanting for the weapon?

Spigots are like a cross between mortars and howitzers...IIRC.

Maybe I'm not thinking of the right weapon. I'm thinking like a spigot mortor, sort of a rifle grenade on steroids?

If you are talking big iron you don't have a ton of choices. Basically the three arty tubes, their cannon variants or maybe something like a variant Gauss (Heavy, HAG) for weight and damage if not how it works?

rifle grenade on `roids? that would be a one-shot t-bolt, because reloading would be as hard.

Spigtor Mortar is what I am trying to mimic. Yes the larger caliber guns and artillery cannons do cover the weight to damage well enough, though the the use of the T-blots does give things a nice change and I do like the T-blots launchers. I am still working on the idea and playing around with things as far as figuring out what could mimic it. Hence why I asked.
