{{Quotation|'''Anti-Aircraft Cannon''' [https://tf2classic.com/fight_or_flight/day2 publicity blurb]|Instead of bullets, this thumping old beast shoots short-range explosive rounds, so fast you can't see them—or airblast them—in flight. They'll detonate when they hit a surface, but they'll also detonate at a fixed range, dealing midair splash damage that's tough to avoid. (We've reassured Heavy that flak cannon explosive rounds are a lot like bullets.)}} | {{Quotation|'''Anti-Aircraft Cannon''' [https://web.archive.org/web/20250124201828/https://tf2classic.com/fight_or_flight/day2 publicity blurb]|Instead of bullets, this thumping old beast shoots short-range explosive rounds, so fast you can't see them—or airblast them—in flight.
