{{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.

The '''Anti-Aircraft Cannon,''' commonly referred to as the '''A.A. Cannon''', is a primary weapon for [[Heavy]], added in the [[Fight or Flight]] update. It resembles an anti-aircraft cannon, scaled down so as to be carried by a person. | The '''Anti-Aircraft Cannon,''' commonly referred to as the '''A.A.

== Trivia == | |||
* Part of the publicity blurb for the Anti-Aircraft Cannon says "Shoot for the moon!". This is part of the quote "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars". It is commonly attributed to Norman Vincent Peale, who was inspired by the Space Race. | |||
* Although the Anti-Aircraft Cannon's model was overhauled in 2.1.3, the original model released with the Fight or Flight update can still be seen in the promotional art produced for the update pages, and on the achievement icons for Duck Season, Policy of Containment, and Red Scare. In the game files, a vtf file remains of an ao bake texture from an older version of the model. | |||
== Comparisons from ''Team Fortress 2'' == | |||
* The weapon's 40 ammo capacity and its slow, single-shot firing rate may be inspired by Pyro's [[tf:Dragon's Fury|Dragon's Fury]]. Both weapons offer different playstyles from their stock counterparts which have high damage per second. | |||
