Thunder Cannon is the default Special of the Punch Type B subclass. It is a free aim, multi-hit projectile with a high priority, which instantly appears on screen, similar to the Gum Ninjutsu Piercing Mixer or Super Fling. After activating, the user switches into an aim mode. Within this, the user can freely aim. Pressing the attack or Special button again fires the shoot. During the aim the user automatically charges. If the fire button doesn't get pressed within a second, it automatically fires the charged shoot. This version deals a bit more damage. The user can also decide to cancel the shoot by guarding which does not consume the Special, so it can be used right after.
Thunder Cannon is a very offensive projectile for confirming Gum Binds, finishing off opponents and stealing knockdowns or drones. To confirm the bind the Special has the property of being unblockable and multi-hit. The multiple hits keeps the opponent busy or stunned until the Gum Shoot binds. Therefore, the Gum Shoot has to be performed first. Its instant appearance, high priority makes it suitable for interrupting and stealing opponents or drones. The ability to pierce through walls and parries covers most, if not all conditions. 
The priority of Thunder Cannon is actually very high. There is no other projectile which can cancel it. It goes through any projectile including Gum Ninjutsus and parries. But at the same time it cannot cancel any projectile, except for some very low prioriy projectiles. So, it is very similar to Gum Ghost, thus a pretty offensive attack. Cancelable projectiles are Gum Balloon, Gum Kunai, Sound Bullets, Normal Attack Stage 1 and Break Attacks of Punch Type B weapons. 
The downsides of Thunder Cannon is the high down value and short hit stun at the end and the resulting lack of providing follow up options.

===Cannon Bomber===
"Attack that deals more damage the closer your opponent is." - In-game description
Cannon Bomber is the Alter Special of the Punch Type B subclass. It is a very strong, mid-ranged projectile with a high priority, whose damage output varies depending on the distance to the target. After activation the user charges the weapon for a brief moment and releases an explosive shot which blows away not only the targetted opponent but also the user, helping to quickly get in motion again. As the charging part takes a moment its not suitable for an opener but rather as a finishing attack for opponents or drones. 
The priority is very similar to its default Special Thunder Cannon as it acts like a Gum Ghost. It cannot wipe out and cannot be wiped out by any attack. Unlike Thunder Cannon, this Special cannot cancel low priority projectiles though. It can also pierce through parries and walls, but due to the lack of range it can be hard to benefit from it.
Attack 	State 	Base Damage	Down Value	Hit Reaction	Properties
Cannon Bomber	close range	165 	30 	blowback 	projectile, airborne afterwards, (wall) pierce, backwards movement
Cannon Bomber	mid range 	120 	25 	blowback 	projectile, airborne afterwards, (wall) pierce, backwards movement
Cannon Bomber	distance 	80 	20 	blowback 	projectile, airborne afterwards, (wall) pierce, backwards movement

==Tips==
The key to this Weapon Type is the Charge- and S-Energy-Management.
Every action the weapon has, except the Normal or Charge Shot, is inputable with the Break Attack Button. This allows the player to charge a shoot while doing other actions. Even a Gum Shoot can be fired with the Break Attack Button. If an action, for example Back Break Attack, ends the player can follow up with a Charge Shot. The requirement though is that the action takes the same or more time than charging a shot. This makes the weapon unique because the player needs to think about charging.
Performing Charge Shots costs S-Energy. Therefore the player has to keep that in mind as well. Collecting Shinobi Orbs, successfully using a Wide Break Attack, using the Ability Rapid Charge by holding the Special Button and Gum Morphing helps to recover S-Energy faster.
Normal, Charge and Special Attack ignores S-Burst as they are flying projectiles. Back Break Attack does not ignore S-Burst and the player ends up in a Parry. If an opponent uses Back Attack, using Back Break Attack can end in a Parry Situation since it has a homing property.
The Special, Thunder Cannon, can be very helpful for Third-Partying. If two opponents are in a Parry it is possible to shoot at them through the Parry. Keep in mind that a Parry gives the participants invulnerability frames when clashing weapons. Thunder Cannon can also go through Specials, Gum Shoots and Gum Ninjutsus such as Fujiyama Rocket to steal kills but it has to be timed correctly. It can also go through swings of the Punishing Blade. Thunder Cannon can go through walls to steal a Drone or Kills.
It is possible to even counter Gum Shoots and Break Attacks with Wide Break Attack. After a successful Wide Break Attack it is possible to counter an upcoming attack, though the frame window is very small (the timing is very strict).
