A cannon works by using the rapid expansion of gases from ignited gunpowder to propel a projectile, typically a cannonball, out of its barrel. When the gunpowder ignites, it creates a high-pressure gas that forces the projectile forward through the barrel. The design of the cannon, including the shape and length of the barrel, helps to maximize the projectile's speed and distance. The cannon is fired by igniting the gunpowder using a fuse or ignition system.

What is a shock cannon?

A shock cannon was a type of turbolaser used on the Yamato (Argo in Starblazers) and other ships in the EDF (star force in Starblazers). A shock cannon worked charging up energy and forcing it thru the barrels of the turret, and cause great damage. Each barrel could move independently and take on ammo cartridges instead of the normal turbolaser blast.. The shock cannon was standard on most space battleships. Such ships that had this were the Yamato, Andromeda, Gailmon ships, and Desslok's flagship.
