The Onager is capable of firing a 15 cm round with up to 1.1 gigajoules of kinetic energy.{{Ref/Reuse|stats}} It has five linearly arranged magnetic coils, each of which needs to charge individually before each shot. The weapon needs to cool off after every shot, and does so by opening a radial vent on the upper portion of the barrel. The weapon is operated from a small booth on the left side of the cannon.{{Ref/Reuse|reach}} | The Onager is capable of firing a 15 cm ferric-tungsten hollow-point round with up to 1.1 gigajoules of kinetic energy.{{Ref/Reuse|stats}} It has five linearly arranged magnetic coils, each of which needs to charge individually before each shot.
