Stress fracture cannon

It shoots you in the crack.

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 a stress pistol with infra-red sighting which can induce metal stress and metal fatigue in its targets, eventually causing them to fracture. Though Landfill 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.
