| — In-game description |
The Daucus isg.III (also known as an ISG) is a Colonial Mounted Infantry Support Gun. It fires 30mm shells, and must be deployed in order to be fired.
Specifications
- It fires 30mm shells up to 40 meters (the shell explodes at max range) and at a rate of 20 shells per minute.
- Its shell is cheap and powerful enough to be used on infantry, vehicles, and structures.
- It is a Large Item carried on the shoulder that must be mounted on a deployed Tripod or certain Half-Tracks to be used. When mounted its mount receives a dedicated ammo slot that can hold 14 shells. Its firing arc is limited to 90 degrees and depends on the mount's direction.
Use
To mount it press B then aim at the mount and press LMB.
Press Q to operate the gun (crouching might be required for low-height deployed tripods).
To reload, a shell needs to be either in the mount's inventory or in the shooter's backpack (priority for backpack if both).
To remove it from its mount, open up the mount's menu with E and click the "Detach Tripod Weapon" button 
(located in the bottom right corner).

Storage
They can be stored in base stockpiles but also in Material Pallets, Rooster - Tumblebox Trailer, or Material Transfer Stations. Crates of them can be directly submitted to those places.
Tactics
It is useful against Vehicles but struggles to pierce the armor of heavier Tanks - where it truly shines is destroying Structures, particularly pillboxes, as it can engage these targets from outside their effective range and demolish them with just a few shots. However AT Gun Garrisons will retaliate on the Daucus if you fire at them or a Bunker connected to them.
Deployed tripod weapons are invisible at night, just like infantry, making them an excellent tool for ambushes. They can also be hidden by being placed inside tall grass and bushes, but are revealed to people within 10m. Only their firing effects (smoke and flashes from the barrel) will betray their presence.
The Grenadier's Baldric allows the wearer to stack 30mm shells in their inventory, making it a good choice for Daucus gunners.
Trivia
- This weapon appears to be inspired by the French Canon d'Infanterie de 37 modele 1916 TRP.
