Heavy Weapons Guy
The Heavy Weapons Guy (or simply HWGuy) is a defensive player that can do a massive amount of damage and kill just about any class in the matter of tenths of seconds. He might be slow, even slower while firing his Assault Cannon, which may take a second before actually starting to fire. But once it does, nothing in its path will survive.
