Bad frontline weapons:
Heavy cannon: 6 shots, 2 per round
Rocket launcher: 1 shot, can't move to cover
Blaster launcher: 1 shot, precious ammo

These are not frontline weapons. They are support weapons and are used for support purposes. The blaster launcher is for making extra entrances in UFO's and for clumps of aliens. The rocket launcher is for clumps of aliens and four square sized terror critters, it is also good for clearing away the jungle and widening windows to allow your troopers to shoot into buildings. The heavy cannon is a trade off of extra rounds and higher rate of fire in exchange for reduced effectiveness. The autocannon adds more rounds and autofire, but lacks the punch to knock open brick walls.
