That works a lot better. I've been saying "tar" but it's pronounced "tor".

Actually, a good gunner will be aiming this primarily at the balloon, which is why it should do a reasonable amount of Impact damage. As it is now, the balloon just giggles as you shoot it.

Interestingly enough, I believe it should never do impact damage for PRECISELY the same reason! This weapon is already powerful enough at controlling with its knockback and its shatter vs components. Changing piercing to impact would make this weapon far and beyond more practical than the Hellhound and the Lumberjack combined!
Richard LeMoon:
I said Impact/piercing. No shatter. A gun that can knock an enemy out of arc should not also be able to destroy engines to keep it that way. Also, I said a reasonable amount. Bringing it anywhere near Lumber or Hellhound levels is unreasonable.
Still, this gun has no light gun to pair up with as it is. On a Goldfish, you have to rely on your ally completely. You can barely damage hull, and have a small chance of breaking a gun or engine. What then? Without an ally, nothing.
The only reason it works on a Spire or Galleon is because you have other guns to rely on. Both still need a piercing in the main light gun position. Both still need an explosive followup. That is THREE guns minimum on the same target to make this thing worth taking.
BlackenedPies:
I've had success with a bifecta on a fish, which is required to make it "work". It's probably not very optimal but it can be fun.
Against other fish I've used spanner mallet buff heavy with a side heavy clip light carro. A good gunner can prevent arcs and disable the other heavy gun. The side carro has an easy arc and the goal is to push/drop them into terrain.
The ability to one shot any component with buff heavy is quite powerful. On a galleon it can be used as a long range disable weapon against other galleons.
