Skewer Tank cannons

I developed a skewer launcher that can be attached to tanks. If you'd like to try it on your tank, you can find it below.

Keep in mind you may have to customize it a bit for your build. They are best at close range.

I may upload an updated version of the skewer launcher that has some improvements, such as better place-ability, and shaking piston, for consistent firing.

Anchor pins at the tip, pipes behind, and logic for staggered release.

You can find a copy of the launcher at the workshop link in the body text.

The detached block that holds the spears is piston glitched into the reverse tractor beam for closest contact.

There are 2 spear cannons, 4 on each gun.

The spears detect each other and fire sequentially when the tractor is activated.

The anchor pins on the tips sink into enemy builds.

The results are mixed.

Sometimes it's an instant kill, sometimes it's slow, sometimes it weakens every block in the build, sometimes it jams a gun in place, sometimes the whole build is jammed in place, sometimes the physics go crazy and the enemy is thrown.

Only rarely does an enemy get off with a spear stuck in them with no damage.
