The Flak Cannon used with Grenades.

The Flak Cannon is a craftable Hardmode ranged weapon that uses Grenades as ammunition. When used, it fires a Flak Grenade that explodes into 8 Flak Fragments that deal 25% of the weapon's damage. Holding the attack button will cause the weapon to load up to six extra grenades that will all be fired in a burst after releasing the button. Flak Cannon will always consume 1 grenade, regardless of how long the charge has lasted. Additionally, Frag Grenades have 30 armor penetration.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
