Trivia

• Its real life designer is Akira Takimoto.
• The weapon design of the CANOPUS is a reference to the Karasawa, a weapon that appears in most Armored Core games, and is typically exceptionally heavy with an equally high damage output.

User-written reviews

• It is actually the renamed version of the KARASAWA. It has impressive power but it isn't nearly as lethal as it once was. It can still shave off 2000 to 3000 AP depending on the target, and CANOPUS also carries a large amount of ammo and high fire rate for it's class. It should be noted that, when used on a proper build, this can become one of the most effective all-around weapons in either game due to high ammo, high damage and a quite reasonable reload time. Arguably, its greatest flaw is its' rounds large, impressive nature, which makes them obvious and easy to dodge. It also lacks any form of stagger ability, which its closest rivals (grenade launchers) happen to be exceedingly good at. Nonetheless, it is a deadly all-around weapon, if not the outright game breaker that it once was in previous games.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaori Daisho (message wall • contribs)
