Vampire canon = body of official literature regarding vampires.
Vampire cannon= device for launching vampires using gunpowder.
A cannon seems redundant as most vampire lore allows them to fly or transform into something enabling flight. Maybe a cannon is for rapid deployment of vampires? The question then is how do you prevent immolation during firing?
Encase the vampire in a sabot first.
They wear daredevil suits to reduce air resistance
Why bother? Vampires can only die in specific ways, and I'm pretty sure I've never seen "getting shot out of a cannon" on that list
Fire often is, which is a possible side effect of gunpowder
Has anyone tried?
I'll get back to you
Today on Mythbusters...
We're going to try the myth that if a vampire is fired out of a cannon, using his coffin as a sabot, into a picket fence.... will the resultant impaling be enough to render the undead dead dead.
I was super excited for a minute thinking maybe we were getting a movie about vampire circus performers hurtling through the air.
Ok, so I like bad movies.
(Spoilers for Hollow Knight: The Grimm Troupe)
This reminds me of a certain boss in that expansion. Enjoy!
