The '''Hellhammer Cannon''' is a heavy version of siege cannon mounted on the [[Battle CannonStormsword]] mounted on a and [[Hellhammer]] [[Super-Heavy Tanks]]. {{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} It has shorter barrel with heavy-gauge suppressors which allow it to fire extremely high-calibre shells without ripping the vehicle apart. {{Fn|2}} The shells fired by a Hellhammer contain an unstable sub-atomic charge at their core, allowing them to smash apart enemy armour armour and emplacements.{{Fn|1}} Each shell weighs 180 kilograms and is propelled by a rocket motor, with exhaust vents on either side of the barrel allowing for the safe discharge of gas with every firing.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} Due to the sheer weight of the shells a automatic loading tray assist the loader, limiting the weapon's rate of fire.{{Fn|3}}
