Heavy Metal is a feat.

Feat

	Heavy Metal
Reduces mechanical damage taken by 1% for each point of weapon's strength requirement, and grants bonus damage equal to 50% (half of that for rocket launchers) of the total armor penalty when attacking with heavy guns. Only works when heavy guns or sledgehammers are equipped in both weapon slots and total armor penalty is 50% or higher.
Requirements Strength 10 Heavy Guns 60

The damage bonus granted by Heavy Metal is limited by the 95% armor penalty cap and is reduced by Nimble and Body Weight Training if these feats have also been selected.
