Information
Basic Info
The HST Mk2 is a redesign of the cannon designed by Homeless_Admiral/Homeless_Emperor. Improvements made to the gun were primarily reducing the overall wiring size and increasing the propellant count. However, a drawback to the gun over the original is the total projectile count. The gun has a significantly lower strength than the original (10 Projectiles compared to 21). This was a slight oversight when I made this as I was in a hurry to complete it in an hour. I intend to make an Mk3 increasing the projectile count to the original numbers.
Homeless_Emperor's Original HST: HST - Adjustable arc super-heavy TNT Cannon Turret

The central timing mechanism for the gun is a pulse extender. How it works is that when the turret is powered by the Redstone torch tower underneath it, the propellant is dispensed. Upon powering the turret, the comparator clock is also locked preventing it from dispensing projectiles too early while a delayed signal is sent to the back of it. When the power turns off, the comparator clock is unlocked and the delayed signal stays on for a period of time turning the comparator clock on dispensing projectiles. A separate repeater train is sent to the pistons which control the arc of the gun. The pulse extender acts to determine when the piston will extend and when it will drop. The projectiles when dispensed will sit on top of the extended piston and drop when the piston retracts.
The point at which the projectiles are at while they fall as the piston retracts when the propellant explodes is what determines the arc/trajectory of the gun. The longer the pulse is given to the gun, the later the piston will drop and thus the higher the trajectory. The shorter the pulse is given to the gun, the lower the trajectory. Because the projectiles are in mid-air when the propellant explodes, the blast force from the propellant TNT is unhindered by anything and allows the gun to reach much longer ranges with less propellant than most guns that use slabs or other mounting blocks for their projectiles.
The central timing mechanism/pulse extender is outside of the gun and can be wired to multiple turrets in order to adjust the trajectory and fire multiple turrets at the same time with the same trajectory.
Movecraft Compatibility
The turret is compatible with the Movecraft plugin and can be mounted on airships or as a stand-alone rotating turret if you wish to use it for base defense. This gun is primarily designed for larger sized combat vessels of Royal Navy/Lanier size standards such as their Battleships or Battlecruisers. The subcraft rotate sign in the gun allows you to rotate the turret when right-clicking it or left-clicking it if Movecraft is installed.

Plugin Requirements ( None / Optional )
No plugins are required for the cannon to function as it is a purely Redstone device. However, the cannon can be used on Movecraft warships with their turret feature to allow it to face in different directions. Some servers that run Movecraft are ToTheEnd, Airship Pirates, and Strangelands.
Terms of Use
You may use or modify this gun on your server, builds, and/or ships but be sure to leave a diamond, credit me, and link the gun if possible. Thank you!

You should check out his page when he posts it because it’s a firepower upgrade because I gave it a sad projectile count lmao
