M18-2 Pincer

The M18-2 Pincer is the standard nose cannon of the Mosquito Interceptor. It is equipped by default.

The Pincer is a variant of the M18 Needler, which has a doubled magazine capacity. The Pincer is also physically two guns, and thus shots fired from it are slightly offset from the nose, firing sequentially. All other statistics are identical to the Needler.

The Pincer is only available on the Mosquito Interceptor, which will always have this nosegun equipped when one is spawned from a Bastion Fleet Carrier. It cannot be used on the standard Mosquito.

Ribbons and Medals
As with all Bastion-related equipment, it is not possible to earn any Ribbons or Medals for the M18-2 Pincer.
