Snow Cannon

Speaking of soft materials, shoveling snow the other day gave me an idea: Why not compress and shoot snow? The result is capable of scattering compressed snowballs in the desired direction, freezing whatever it hits.

Compacted and deliciously cold delivered.

This weapon is based on the by now standardized double-piston tech and has been insulated with wool. The obsidian framing is giving it just enough stability for our purposes.

Reloading is done by shoving 1 to 8 snow blocks into it (up to a maximum of 32).
