Stress fracture cannon

The stress fracture cannon is a weapon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Superion's specialty is breaking things. And few weapons are as well-suited to breaking things as the stress fracture cannon. Its beam finds and overloads a target's natural fracture points, shattering it. The weapon can be set to varying levels of precision — it can crack an eggshell or cause a seismic disturbance. Guess which one Superion prefers.

Flintlock, one of Landfill's Nebulan partners, transforms into stress pistol with infra-red sighting can induce metal stress and metal fatigue in its targets, eventually causing them to fracture. Though Landfill's probably still feared for his hygiene more than anything else.

Trivia

• Somehow, when Silverbolt wields Superion's stress fracture cannon, it becomes a electrostatic discharger rifle. Neat trick.
