| - The Big Gun is a long range mobile sniper turret that appeared in the Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt manga series.
- Specialized on high ranged damageIt is specialized on fights at a long distance and it can cause great damage to a wide area. Activating on its huge firepower, the Big Gun Ship can cause serious damage to a wide area by using its incredibly large front cannon from a safe distance.
- The Big Gun was the primary defense system of planet Stroggos. It was an enormous cannon capable of detecting and destroying any approaching spacecraft over a few meters in length. The Mark 9A Drop Pod used in Operation Alien Overlord was designed specifically to circumvent this defense, depositing troops on the ground to disable the Big Gun defense, allowing larger warships to pass through. The Big Gun was eventually destroyed by space marine Bitterman, one of the few survivors of the initial landing. This allowed the Stroggos Campaign to proceed to its next phase.
- File:Q2.png In Quake II, the Big Gun is a key part of Stroggos' planetary defense system. It can unleash a powerful ElectroMagnetic Pulse (E.M.P.) blast capable of disabling or destroying nearly any type of spaceship, including the small SMC Drop Pods used by the Human Marines. Unaware of its capabilities and/or believing it to be ineffective against their Drop Pods, the Marines launched an enormous assault against Stroggos.

| - File:Q2.png In Quake II, the Big Gun is a key part of Stroggos' planetary defense system. It can unleash a powerful ElectroMagnetic Pulse (E.M.P.) blast capable of disabling or destroying nearly any type of spaceship, including the small SMC Drop Pods used by the Human Marines. Unaware of its capabilities and/or believing it to be ineffective against their Drop Pods, the Marines launched an enormous assault against Stroggos. The Big Gun, however, proved to be very active and highly effective against even the smallest targets, managing to disable almost every Marine Pod upon entry into the atmosphere, scattering squads of Marines far and wide, stranding survivors miles away from their squad-mates and objectives, enabling the Strogg ground forces to crush the assault almost before it even began. Those that survived the landing operation were either killed immediately, or were taken prisoner. The only identified survivors of the massacre were Bitterman, who went on to complete Operation Alien Overlord by himself; Joker, who would prove successful in his mission to locate and neutralize the Strogg's waiting counter-fleet; and Stepchild, who went on to foil the Strogg's plan to trap the Human fleet in orbit, by destroying the Gravity Well. Each of these marines acted on their own, having become separated from their ill-fated squads during atmospheric entry The Big Gun was not the reason any of the player characters was separated from their platoons. Bitterman was blindsided by another marine whose pod smashed into his. Joker's pod hit an asteroid during atmospheric entry, which actually saved his life because the rest of the squad was wiped out by Strogg ground forces. Stepchild chased a Strogg Gorgon fighter and fell through the hole opened by its crash landing. The destruction of the Big Gun was one of the central objectives of Operation Alien Overlord, the disabling of which allowed the orbiting capital ships Phobos and Deimos to send fighter and bomber squadrons down to the planet below to perform strafing runs and airstikes on important targets (such as a fuel pod in a canyon outside Cerberon's main hangar complex, or a fuel production plant), damaging Strogg infrastructure and hampering their war effort.
