You can't go wrong with the microwave cannon. It fires fast and dishes out ample damage.
With an extremely fast firing rate with only a moderate loss to energy reserves, the new microwave cannon becomes a useful ally in your mission against the enemy bots. The special aspect of the microwave cannon is that, once hit, the enemy becomes disoriented (if you've been hit by this thing in the early single-player levels, you'll know exactly what I mean), opening the way for additional microwave bolts to come in. Once the bot is in this bad position, it won't be long before its completely destroyed.

The disorientation effect becomes even more enjoyable in multiplayer games. Fire a few rounds of the microwave cannon at a player, and he'll have trouble even controlling his craft. Mix this in with a few homing missiles (or the like)m and you'll have little trouble in destroying your enemy. The microwave cannon can be a powerful tool by itself or in conjunction with other weaponry and missiles. And plus, those bolts really look cool.
