Changes: Hellhammer Cannon

Revision as of 00:57, 7 April 2012

The Hellhammer Cannon is a heavier version of the Imperial Guard's Leman Russ Eradicator tank's main weapon, the Eradicator Nova Cannon, and is mounted on the Hellhammer super-heavy tank. The Hellhammer Cannon is shorter than the Mega Battle Cannon usually mounted on the Baneblade, from which the Hellhammer originates. The weapon has a shorter barrel outfitted with heavy-gauge suppressors to fire extremely high-calibre shells. This allows it to fire without ripping itself apart and the shells are capable of destroying both enemy barricades and any infantry sheltering behind them with a highly volatile sub-atomic charge. This makes the Hellhammer Cannon extremely effective in cities, jungles or other dense terrain. With a blast radius close to that of the Demolisher Cannon, but possessed of a longer range, the Hellhammer Cannon can effectively clear buildings of enemy infantry before they can even get a shot off.
