M14 Banshee

The  is a nose cannon available to the Mosquito. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The M14 Banshee is the Mosquito's anti-infantry nose cannon, sacrificing the magazine size and direct damage of the aircraft's other nose cannons for a very generous explosive payload, combining with a fast fire rate to allow the cannon to quickly kill small clusters of infantry—though at expense of sustained fire ability and, most importantly, air-to-air capabilities.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the nose cannon. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
