A blunt and uncomplicated device by the standards of most inventions, the Scrap Cannon is made up of a thick wire stock housing a cylindrical induction engine. The ‘barrel’ in this case is a large circular disk of armor plate, with bunched conduiting and coils behind its scarred and dented surface. A simple gun trigger rests in the usual position, rigged up to the engine choke. The butt houses a stormchamber socketed into the device, which glows a brilliant  blue.

As a move action the Scrap Cannon can gather up unattached/unattended fine, tiny and small ferrous metal items (nuts, bolts, tools, scrap, machine parts, weapons) within a 15ft cone. And pin it in a mass against the front armor plate. Once a mass of metal items is ‘loaded’ into the scrap cannon it can be fired as a standard ranged attack in a 30ft cone, dealing 4d6 slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage to targets within 15ft. This is reduced to 2d6 slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage to targets within 30ft. (Reflex save DC10 + attack roll).

When used against a metal target heavier than the Scrap Cannons user, they must make a Strength check DC20 to avoid being disarmed. If attached to its harness there is no chance of being disarmed, but the user must make a Strength check DC15 or be knocked prone and move 5ft towards the target.

While versions of this device have been rumored to have been used as weapons, they mainly served for a time as prototype heavy lifting equipment before being shelved as a waste of funding.
