===Tau Plasma Cannon===
[[File:TauPlasmaCannonProfile.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Tau Plasma Cannon]]
This is basically the Plasma Rifle, an enlarged Plasma Rifle grown a tad bit too big.

Because of this, they are more powerful than their little kinder and also fire more rapidly. However, a Plasma Cannon sacrifices some of its armor penetration power for this advantage, making it similar in damage output to an Ion Cannon. Unlike Imperial Plasma Cannons, this Plasma Cannon does not cover a small (''or large'') area with a Plasma blast; it fires in bursts, which means it is more suited for vaporizing singular big targets rather than groups of heavy infantry stupid enough to clump up. Since the Tau Plasma Cannon is essentially a main gun for a tank which is the [[Hammerhead Gunship|TX7 Hammerhead Gunship,]] a more proportionate comparison over the Imperium's side should be a Plasma cannon that is also worthy for their tanks – the Plasma Destroyer. No matter the weapon, the Tau Plasma Cannon is clearly better than any of the ''Gorilla'' counterparts in one factor other than not getting hot from playing it safe. For the size, it shoots pretty far. The smallest size over the Imperium that can shoot as far as their Plasma Cannon is the Plasma Decimator, which is fitted on the larger Dominus-class Knights. Along with the Fusion Cannon, their Plasma Cannon saw first blood during the Taros Campaign where it was [[Just As Planned|'coincidentally' being field tested there]]. This gave the Tau much needed boost in their little Weeaboo hands to counteract against heavy Imperial firepower at the time.

[[Forge World]] used to produce a variant turret for the Hammerhead Gunship for the twin-linked Plasma Cannon option. But since it "used to," your only choices of getting one are either finding people who sell it, finding alternative bits that look just close enough, whipping out your conversion expertise, or the [[Proxy|universal solution]].
