Beams with Cannon visuals?

So I know that the Kelvin phasers and the Vaadwuar beams have visuals that make them look like cannons, love them. But I have been gone for a while and I am wondering if any other beams now have cannon like visuals??

    The Discovery weapons (emitter-linked etc.) which are turrets in the shows have those visuals on their beam array variants while their cannon types look nothing like they're supposed to.​​

    The Pulse Phaser Beam Array looks similar to cannons firing in fast-forward.

    I've got a ship running a mix of the Discovery, Kelvin Timeline, and TWoK beams. All the pretty visuals of cannons that I can have BFaW running with.

    I just need the dammed pulse phaser omni to make it perfect but those things cost more than some ships nowadays.​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Discovery X-Linked is available in Omni beam array, which should get cheaper as the box goes along, since you're running with those mixed in anyway and you can only have one lockbox omni + Trilithium Phaser Omni anyway in Phaser.

    Only in Cannon:Rapid Fire or Cannon:Scatter Volley mode, as standard and Fire At Will fire is far more beam-like than the other mentioned here. It's very likely the desire is to have things that look like cannons, but respond to Fire At Will to either hit everything around or to be able to leverage that FAW is lower ranked than CSV/CRF.

    The vaadwaur polaron beams fire in a cannon like visual if I remember right.

    I didn't know the DSC had a omni. I'll check it out.​​

    It looks like the Discovery Lockbox has 6 Omni-Beams; 3 Phaser, 3 Disruptor.
