====Back Unit==== There are two points on the back where weapons or devices may be mounted. These include: * Missile launchers * Rocket launchers * Guns (chain guns, slug guns, rail guns, pulse guns, etc.) * Cannons (grenade launchers, laser cannons) * Orbit cannons (units which deploy autonomous, floating guns) * Radars * Extra ammunition supplies Some weapons and devices take up both Back Unit slots. Cannon-type weapons must be fired over the shoulder, so there is usually a delay in activating the weapon for it to unfold or align itself. Bipedal and Hovering ACs have insufficient stability to use a cannon-type weapon whilst standing or moving, so it is more common to see missile and rocket launchers on these ACs. In earlier games AC pilots who unlocked the Human PLUS modifications or gained the black market Optional Part OP-INTENSIFY were able to deploy cannons while moving but such features have been removed from more recent games like ''[[Armored Core: Nexus]]'', ''[[Armored Core: Nine Breaker|Nine Breaker]]'' and ''[[Armored Core: Last Raven|Last Raven]]'', although in some of the AI players appear to still have access to OP-INTENSIFY. In Armored Core 4 however, any AC with any style of legs can utilize cannon-type back weapons without having to kneel, they can be fired standing up right and while moving.
