The '''thump cannon''' is a [[mechanoid]]-only weapon equipped on [[termite]]s with a low base damage rating but with exceptional damage multipliers against buildings.

This weapon cannot be independently obtained in normal play. It is provided here for comparisons sake.

== Acquisition ==
Thump cannons spawn on all [[termites]]s. However, it is not possible to obtain it directly in normal play. Pawns carrying it will not drop it on [[death]], [[downing]], or complete loss of [[manipulation]] like other weapons. It can be spawned in by the [[Development mode#Debug actions menu|Debug actions menu]] but, like all [[unobtainable items|unobtainable weapons]], will disappear after being dropped.

== Summary ==
Thump cannons do [[damage types#Thump|Thump damage]] which has a 15x damage multiplier to impassable buildings, 7.5x multiplier to passable buildings, a 4x multiplier against plants. Furthermore, walls and natural rock walls have a further 2x multiplier when taking Thump damage resulting in a 30x multiplier. Thus, for base damage before [[quality]] modifiers, the thump cannon deals:
* [[Pawns]]: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}}}
* Impassable [[buildings]]: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*15}}
* Passable buildings: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*7.5}}
* [[Plants]]: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*4}}
* [[Walls]] & natural rock walls: {{#expr: {{P|Damage Base}}*30}}

For the purposes of [[Apparel#Protection|armor calculation]], thump cannons are considered Sharp damage.

== Analysis ==
Due to Thump damage's multipliers, thump cannon are only moderately damaging to living targets but do massive damage to buildings and walls. A single shot can destroy 3-tile wide stretch of wood wall, and three can breach any wall short of [[plasteel]]. The thump cannon can down unarmored pawns in five hits on average, and most often kill from brain damage.
