- Might actually be lethal under the right circumstances
- Versatile- The detuned Verpine shattergun coils are not at all picky about what they shoot. So long as the snack cake can fit into the freezing chamber, it can be fired.
- Potentially lethal- It's not winning any prizes for stopping power, but a solidly frozen snack cake might actually kill someone if it hits them in the head at about 80 meters a second. That's about as fast as a paintball from a cheap paintball gun, but with a lot more mass. If it doesn't outright kill, it'll probably hurt like hell when it hits.
- Puny stats- It's slow. It's not all that powerful. It shoots snack cakes. The Snack Cake Hand Cannon is only technically functional as a weapon. It's more of a curiosity come to life.
- Cryogenic hazard- unlike most weapons, the more it's fired, the cooler the Snack Cake Hand Cannon gets. After 10 shots, the weapon will need to be warmed up again. Conveniently, this is the number of freezes the carbonite freezing apparatus can handle before needing to be refilled. Give it a good ten minutes at room temperature to thaw out, or the shattergun coils will be damaged.
Insert snack cake into freezing chamber. Chamber can accomodate cylindrical shapes up to 4 inches long and three inches wide. WARNING: for snack cake use only.
Activate the apparatus. The carbonite freezing apparatus will supercool the snack cake to a solid block. Once cooled, it will automatically be loaded into the chamber, and the status indicator will turn green.
Detuned shattergun coils launch the projectile at a speed of about 80 meters per second. Although this isn't super fast, it might be enough to kill someone if you smack them in the back of the head, the nose, or the throat. The frozen snack cake might break bones, but it probably won't kill unless it hits one of those three spots.
The Snack Cake Hand Cannon was designed for [member="Charlie"], for reasons that Rusty can't even fathom. It was a slow night, and he didn't have anything better to do, so he threw it together.
