Information
Basic Info
The RSG (Recessed Spread Gun) is an adjustable trajectory TNT cannon with a vertical spread and anti-bounce features. This makes it a spread anti-bounce type gun or sometimes referred to as a "spread laser" type cannon. With the abilities of anti-bounce guns and the spread of a spread gun, the gun is able to land hits on targets with its wide angle shot and make sure that the hits do damage even if they ricochet or slide off.
The actual gun is recessed into the deck and armored in order to further increase the overall protection and survivability of the gun to attack. Lowering the gun and the wiring further into the deck gives it an increased survival chance against a direct hit from an enemy TNT cannon or the stray TNT from an impact nearby.
Spread guns are considered an evolution of the precision gun which used to have only 3-6 projectiles. This gun addresses the firepower problem by giving it the ability to fire 60 projectiles, nearly a full stack of TNT.
Note: Make sure when installing the gun that you do not block any of the places a piston needs to extend into.

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 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.

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.
