The primary weapons on the ''Warhammer'' 6R were a pair of arm-mounted [[Donal]] [[PPC]]s, which used highly charged accelerated particles to cause significant amounts of damage to enemy 'Mechs at long ranges. Together, both PPCs provided the combined firepower of an [[Autocannon/20]] with a much longer range bracket. For close combat situations, the ''Warhammer'' carried two [[Martell (ML)|Martell]] [[medium laser]]s and two [[Magna]] [[small laser]]s, one of each in both side torsos.  To exploit any weak points in an enemy's armor, a [[Holly (SRM6)|Holly]] [[SRM-6]] was carried over the right shoulder, with one ton of reloads in the corresponding side torso.  Finally, as an effective deterrent to infantry attacks, two [[Sperry Browning]] [[Machine Gun]]s were split between the side torsos with one ton of ammunition carried in the center torso.<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref name=TRO3039p297/>

The ''Warhammer'' was well protected by ten tons of armoring, while the use of eighteen [[heat sink]]s gave it the freedom to "fire and maneuver" without concern.  The sixteen-ton [[fusion engine]] powering the 'Mech gave it a cruising speed of 43.2 km/h and top speed of 64.8 km/h, fast enough to keep pace with the action in most engagements.  The electronics on the 'Mech, though dated by the time of the [[thirty-first century]], were simple and effective, allowing it to assume command duties when needed.  The targeting system in particular utilized a special [[Searchlight]] mounted over the left shoulder of the 'Mech.  The device could function as a standard searchlight or tie in directly to the O/P 1500 ARB tracking system, which made the 'Mech an effective night fighter.<ref name=TRO3025p96/><ref name=TRO3039p297/>
