 * Any suggestions?
 * Hi, i,m a novice cannon engineer. I'm fairly new to cannon classifications and the like, but i have this idea for a short range cannon that can do good destruction over a small area,but I,m not sure about it's cannon class. I,m open to suggestions on anything, but here is the basic premises of my cannon: The shot is composed of 6 superimposed primed tnts, which have all been primed simultaneously, except for one, which has been primed earlier. When the shot is launched, one of the tnts explodes, scattering the 5 others around a small area, which explode simultaneously. I'm still not sure how to set this up; i'd like some suggestions on how much charge to use and what launching block to use. Thanks!


 * Right now the classifications are up in the air, I'm working on trying to get them standardized, I have a good concept going though, here: http://pastebin.com/H11XyFe8
 * Any questions about that just ask and I will explain =)
 * As for the shot blocks and such, what range are you going for? Generally the taller the shot block, the higher the arc. If you want it to explode near/on the ground use a closed Trapdoor, my personal favorite. If you want to have it hit aerial targets I would suggest using a ladder, or a closed trapdoor. You want as much open space in the shot block as possible, which is why a ladder is better than a whole block, even though a block is the same height. And basically the more charge you put in it, the farther it goes, but also the shot goes higher.

 * What do dispensers have to do with cannons?
 * Dispensers in the 1.5 snapshots can be used to create ultra-compact 600rpm TNT cannons. One set of dispensers rapidly dispense TNT as a charge, and as they explode another set of dispensers dispense TNT as a shot, which is propelled.

Classification and Terminology Discussion
This section is for discussing the classification systems and definitions of terminology etc. We need to set standards, and discuss them! Please me your topic titles bold. &#60;&#60;&#61;CreepersNemisis&#61;&#62;&#62; 03:52, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Cannon Naming System
 * The current naming systems seem overly bulky and convoluted. Therefore I propose this: http://pastebin.com/H11XyFe8 This is extremely flexible, you can make the longest most detailed name in the world, or just put the nickname. Same naming system. Any suggestions or ideas? I will post this a week after the date on this post if there are no objections. =)

Page Revamp
I believe that the main page could be revamped, right now it's really messed up... If anybody has anything to say on this topic please do =) &#60;&#60;&#61;CreepersNemisis&#61;&#62;&#62; 04:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
