We came up with stats for something similar. It's called a 454 Causul. It has
the power to shoot down a rampaging bull elephant with one shot. It was also
used in "Alien Nation". "it only has one bullet!" "geeze,
<name deleted>. You
only NEED one!"

The books give that impression. The story at the beginning of SR2 has something
similar. I don't know whether the rules say so, but the stories sure do!

AVMs. Lots and lots and Lots and LOTS of AVMs!
Try a minigun on autofire. That SHOULD hurt it, at the very least. If you have
a competent gunner, have him use burst fire (or autofire) with LMGs on up. I
have one shotted something similar under sr1 (using RBB burst rules). Good luck!
