The Assault Cannon is a weapon in the Classic Team Fortress series of games used by the Heavy Weapons Guy. It is an automatic weapon that fires a stream of bullets in a spread, similar to the spread of pellets fired by the Single-Barrel Shotgun. The gun must "wind up" a second before firing – a problem if the target is fast. It uses shells as ammo and does not need to be reloaded.
There are a few important differences between the Team Fortress and Team Fortress Classic incarnations of this weapon. In Quake Team Fortress, winding up the Assault Cannon will automatically use ten cells, and the gun will automatically stop firing (but remain "wound up") if the user moves while the gun is firing. In Team Fortress Classic, the Assault Cannon does not use cells and the gun still fires while the user is moving.
