It traded heavy damage in exchange for a short range, a tendency to heat up quickly and a high power requirement.The short range of the neutron gun was known to fool inexperienced pilots into deadly close range dogfights, klling some. Neutron guns were found on the Rapier II, Raptor and Jalthi. They were featured in both Weapons of the Terran and Kilrathi Fleets and Borger's All The Sector's Weapons Systems.
