This is a vertical TNT cannon designed for efficient operation. It features a staggered-detonation payload system capable of holding 8 TNT blocks, with options for variable staggering of the top TNT stack. An optional expander can increase the payload to 12 TNT with three toggle factors.
The cannon utilizes 12 TNT for propellant charges. Its compact footprint measures 7x7x9 blocks, making it suitable for integration into bases or ships. Key features include fireproofing, a failsafe mechanism, and resistance to overlap firing. A toggleable choke ensures zero circular error probable (CEP).
