Function
The Personal Ion Cannon fires devastating ion beams. It does high damage against everything, and it is able to kill infantries in one hit with a headshot, akin to sniper rifles. However, shorter range, rate of fire, and longer reloading times make the Personal Ion Cannon not effective as Sniper Rifles or Ramjet Rifles when it comes to infantry. Still, a skilled wielder is able to deal with both infantry and vehicles at once.
Note that Personal Ion Cannon leaves a highly visible trace after firing; therefore switching locations often is advised.
