Information
Basic Info
The BBG (Behemoth Broadside Gun) is a heavy TNT Cannon with an adjustable arc functional in Vanilla Minecraft. It is intended on being installed on the Behemoth-Class airships designed by BaccaYarro for the Kingdom of Lanier. Mounted in sufficiently large numbers turns the Behemoth into a deadly combatant capable of blanketing the whole battlefield with deadly fire. The exterior shell of the gun faces is both for protection and aesthetic purposes.
The trajectory is adjusted by adding or subtracting ticks from the repeater on the red arc control system. More ticks elevate the gun and allow it to shoot further. The less will do the opposite.

Nerd Stuff
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 gun is compatible with Movecraft airships but can function just fine in vanilla Minecraft as it is a redstone device. It is intended on being mounted on the Behemoths but you can mount it on many other ships.
The color pallet of the design and functional basis was based on that of Royal Navy weapons made by BaccaYarro. Design inspirations linked here:

Stats
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.
