A Hand Cannon (5,000 grams; TL-2) is literally a small, hand-held, muzzle-loading cannon. [1]
Description (Specifications)
It can take several minutes to load with powder and a ball, and is fired by holding a flame to the touchhole. It fires as body pistol, but may not fire at close range. [2]
History & Background (Dossier)
All these weapons require that the owner also carry gunpowder and properly sized lead balls; percussion weapons also require a supply of percussion caps. [3]
