The '''Incendiary Cannon''' is a weapon in the classic Team Fortress games that is only used by the [[Pyro (Classic)|Pyro]]. It fires rockets that set targets in the radius of its explosion on fire. The rockets fired by the Incendiary Cannon are as fast as those fired by the [[Rocket Launcher (Classic)|Rocket Launcher]], but curve and deal reduced damage. Unlike the Rocket Launcher, it does not need to be reloaded. In all its incarnations, the Incendiary Cannon is the only weapon that can set targets on fire at [[Flamethrower (Classic)|anything other than close range]] and can set targets on fire even trough walls.

The Incendiary Cannon is a weapon in Team Fortress Classic games and is only used by the Pyro. It launches rockets that set targets within its blast radius on fire, even through walls. The rockets fired by the Incendiary Cannon are as fast as those fired by the Rocket Launcher, but deal reduced damage. Unlike the Rocket Launcher, it does not need to be reloaded. In all its incarnations, the Incendiary Cannon is the only weapon that can set targets on fire at anything other than close range.

While the player can rocket jump with the Incendiary Cannon, it will not propel the player as far as the Rocket Launcher. On the upside, it will do much less damage than using the Rocket Launcher would.

The amount of ammo consumed by the weapon depends on the game; in Quake Team Fortress it uses three rockets per shot. In Team Fortress Classic, it uses one rocket per shot.

Damage

30 to 60 per rocket, in a direct hit. The splash damage of this weapon is much less than scoring a direct hit. Armor also plays a factor in how much damage this weapon can do.
