Talk:Tutorials/TNT cannons

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.
