A hand cannon is quite literally a breech-loading, largebore pistol that operates much like its larger kin. The weapon is typically used for big-game hunting, and its effects on a human target are predictably devastating, punching through hardened plate as easily as skin and bone. While hand cannons of all makes generally take the form of a large pistol, the recoil is such that all but the largest and strongest individuals are advised to place both hands firmly on the grip before pulling the trigger.
