Shrapnel Cannon

"A modified Cinder Howitzer that shoots brick shrapnel. Shrapnel does not have the mass to cripple players, but is sharp enough to cause bleeding. This effect stacks with itself. Has an improved rate of fire, accuracy, and muzzle velocity." In-game description

The Shrapnel Cannon is a slot 1 weapon for Trowel Guy which shoots brick shrapnel, causing bleed damage whose effects could stack, making it an extremely dangerous weapon to come across. Most of its stats are overall better than the cinder howitzer, with its role being purely damage oriented.

The weapon shares a similar appearance with the Cinder Howitzer, although there have been several modifications done to its body. Most of its body is located at the top instead of the bottom of the weapon, and its stock is more reinforced. A yellow band can be seen at its magazine and lever thingy and also a yellow triangle near its grip.

Tactics

 * w+m1


 * This weapon deals significantly less damage to non-humanoid targets compared to the cinder howitzer, so be sure to always have a backup weapon such as the C4 or great trowel whenever you encounter non-humanoid targets such as sentries or ANFO crates.


 * You could keep a safe distance from Scouts and other close range oriented classes thanks to the larger effective range of the Shrapnel Cannon. Although getting closer makes your shots easier to hit, it isn't an entirely bad idea either to just go aggressive.

Trivia
The Shrapnel Cannon and the morning star are currently the only weapons that can deal bleed damage. Although technically the gas cannon is also included in this list, it deals damage based on a percentage of the enemy's max HP instead of being a set amount.
