Many of us know this weapon is exactly a marginally weaker Hades Autocannon. I don't think it should be that way, and a few others seem to agree with me. That said, let's see if we can rework it, shall we?

Butcher Cannon: R 36", S 5, AP 3, Heavy 4, Shred

The name of the weapon made me think of a Chaos equivalent to the loyalist Assault Cannon, but with more emphasis on chewing through infantry. To me, this makes sense because of the Chaos Space Marines' deep-seated hatred for the loyalists, and they would probably want a weapon that's effective against them other than the baleflamer. Any thoughts or additions/changes are welcome as long as the reasoning behind them is stated.

Edited for grammar.
