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

This weapon is unobtainable in normal play, though it can be spawned in by the [[Development mode#Debug actions menu|Debug actions menu]]. Like all [[unobtainable items|unobtainable weapons]], after being equipped and dropped, it disappears. It is provided here for comparisons sake.
 
 
== Acquisition ==
 
Thump cannons spawn on all [[termite]]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.

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:

== 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.
