Krusha Kannon[2]
The Krusha Kannon is a type of Ork artillery weapon.[1]
The Krusha Kannon is a main weapon of a Kill Krusha, a turret-mounted, heavy-bore, high velocity gun capable of firing a variety of different shells. This powerful gun quickly gained a well-deserved reputation among the Orks' enemies. It is believed to have been invented by the infamous Murda-Meks of Tigrus in late M40. While its grot-served auto-loader gubbinz are a miracle of Ork design, they don't always work as intended. Sometimes grots may get caught in the gears of elastic breaks or fit the shell backwards, resulting in a catastrophic explosion. The Krusha Kannon has the following assortment of ammunition types:[1]
- Boom Shell - standard explosive round, favoured by the Grots firing the cannon due to the big boom it makes on impact
- Tankhamma Shell – armour-piercing shell used to blast enemy vehicles apart
- Scrap Kanister – shrapnel-filled charges able to rip through swathes of enemy infantry
- Blast Burna - incendiary ammunition, which can drench fortifications with burning chemicals to roast alive anyone caught inside
