Flame Cannon

About the Flame Cannon

A brutal weapon of area denial, the flame cannon spews a roaring stream of ignited fuel or superheated plasma across a wide arc, drowning everything in front of it in fire. It exists to clear trenches, tunnels, and packed rooms where precision matters less than saturation, and to terrorize an enemy who cannot simply duck a spreading wall of flame. Militaries, pirate crews, and enforcers alike deploy them for the sheer psychological weight they carry alongside the burning damage, since few threats break a formation faster than the sight of one turning their way. Wielded two-handed and fed from a bulky reservoir, it is short-ranged and hungry for fuel, but within its reach almost nothing survives comfortable. It rewards aggression and positioning over marksmanship, a frontline horror best suited to a heavy trooper willing to close the distance and let the fire do the rest.
