Raikō

The Japanese resistance makes use of the Raikō (雷光, lit. Lightning), a massive coilgun built from four Glasgows or the Burais variants. It fires a high velocity shell which releases two-dozen steel ball bearings that can tear through Knightmare Frames, as well as most other targets with ease. The four Knightmares are arranged along both sides of the cannon for support, and their heads are attached to a circular disc on the top of the cannon for a 360 degree field of view. The cockpits of the two Knightmares on each side are linked to create a two-seater cockpit. Unfortunately for the pilots, there does NOT seem to be any Cockpit Ejection Systems for them in case they get into a tight situation.

In addition to the main cannon, the arm on the open side of each Knightmare is replaced with a linkable cannon, creating four secondary cannons in case the main cannon fails to destroy the target. Two of them are used in the series, the first by the Japan Liberation Front in the eighth episode and the second by the Black Knights in the twenty-fourth episode. Suzaku Kururugi destroys both of them.
