Was the BAR peewee-launching gun inspired by Zero-K ?

More likely the unit cannon from SupCom 2 ?

But if I'm not mistaken Zero-K's pulling/pushing beam weapons predate SupCom2 (combined with terraformed ramps you get a unit cannon, though making the unit survive on landing is an additional challenge), though Lobsters came out after :
