At 50 pounds this is not a practical weapon, but it might be cool to see if your favorite rpg system has rules that would allow you to simulate it.

Re: Xan your favorite system stat this?
Most game systems can do this. Just call it "giant gun".
The real question is whether your favorite game system can simulate rescuing a primary school band from intergalactic terrorists and evil plants, for high TV ratings:

Corley, I made the mistake of forgetting why I had you in my twit filter and took you out of it just to see a reply you'd made.
I now remember why I put you in my twit filter and now return you to it posthaste.
Enjoy the trip.

Re: Can your favorite system stat this?
I don't get it, you're mad that your question has a simple, straightforward answer that I helpfully gave?
Or are you a fan of Tasty Cookin', which was pre-empted for Ulala's Swingin' Report Show?

I like TWIT. Reminds me of Screen Savers. Good show.

Middle atomic age. size: 48 millihexes. Weight loaded: 24.2 kg. Ammo: 1. Shoulder/bipod fired Reduced range x2 Takes several actions to reload. Damage: 7d+2 lethal. Accuracy: 3 Ammo weight: .2kg/round Armor 2d+0 Hits: 6 Minimum strength to fire without taking damage: 3d+2 if fired from a bipod/shoulder. (Most people have more like 2d+2 strength, so most people firing this even from a bipod mount would need a shoulderpad equal to 1d+0 armor to avoid taking damage even when using a bipod/shoulder. Even so many people would take some non lethal hits from firing this even from a bipod mount.)
Damage/range
7d+2 / 0-499m (Damage 1 point below 30mm cannon.) 6d+2 / 500-699m 5d+2 / 700-999m 4d+2 / 1000-1399m (Damage equal to a 30.06 rifle at close range) 3d+2 / 1400-1999m (Damage equal to a .30 carbine at close range) 2d+2 / 2000-2799m (Damage equal to a close range .357 magnum pistol.) 1d+2 / 2800-3999m 0d+2 / 4000-5599m 0d+0 / 5600m+
It's true that this weapon can hit with some lethal damage at just under 5600m or nearly 4 miles. Considering that a .338 magnum caliber rifle has scored several fatal shots at a distance of 2475 meters (1.54 miles), this is not unreasonable in reality. Also 0d+2 points damage even to the head are not too likely to be fatal, so one can say the weapon's maximum lethal range is 3999m (~2.3 miles)where a headshot can be lethal if it does 1d+2.
