Hail Stone

Hail Stone, sometimes written as Hail-Stone, is the first tank cannon in Steamlands. Hail Stone as it name implies fires heavy iron balls which when hit an enemy tank seem as if it's raining stones. The Hail Stone gun has a rectangular base which takes up two blocks, and a medium sized cannon that has the appearance of a cannon on top of a half-circle.

The Hail Stone is widely considered a cannon than a gun, which is why it is commonly written as Hail Stone Cannon. The Cannon of the Hail Stone gun can rotate in all directions. Hail Stone guns can either be placed with the base two blocks foreword or two blocks down. The metal balls fired by the hail stone deal more damage than the bullets of usual guns.

The Hail Stone is also the first gun to use weapons other than bullets. Hail Stones appear throughout Steamlands, used by enemies and the player and can be found often on the ground. The Big Ben gun has a similar appearance to the Hail Stone gun, and the Matryoshyka gun attacks similar to the Hail Stone.

If the player is moving fast and a Hail Stone cannon on the player's tank is shot, it will most likely land on the player's tank.

The Hail Stone's health starts out at 300 health points an and can be upgraded to 330.
