Hand Cannon



The Hand Cannon is a short, one-shot firearm that launches explosive shells. Because of the weight of these shells, the Hand Cannon is usually fired at an angle as an indirect-fire weapon to hit distant targets, and as such is considered a kind of hand-held mortar.

Usage
Shortly after their conception by Devhan weapons company 'Royale Armouries,' all three Western Land Armies adopted the basic design of a Hand Cannon for use by Grenadier units. Due to the high cost of both the weapon and it's ammunition, Hand Cannons are typically issued only to elite Grenadiers or shared within a squadron of soldiers.

Availability
Hand Cannons are not available for purchase anywhere in Cadia, and as such are almost exclusive in ownership to the military; even there they are few in number. However, whilst illegal to sell they are not illegal to own in both Swadia and Brochovichia and a very rare few have found their way into the black market.

Due to their rarity, they are typically priced anywhere from 80p-120p, depending on the model and seller, with ammunition priced at about 10p per shot; although some models accept generic grenades.
