The M30 Mustang AH is a nose cannon available to the Reaver. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The M30 Mustang Air Hammer is the Reaver's dedicated anti-infantry nose cannon. Functioning similar to a shotgun, the Air Hammer fires a spread of explosive pellets that deal considerable damage to soft targets, capable of shredding through infantry faster than its contemporaries, although it is limited in range by a relatively low velocity and the moderate spread of its pellets.
