The Assault Cannon is a community-contributed experimental primary weapon for the Heavy that was being play-tested by Valve. The existence of this weapon was first discovered in the form of a VTF filename string found in the texture_preload_list.txt file that had been added to the game as part of the October 28, 2015 Patch;
models/workshop/weapons/c_models/c_assault_minigun/c_assault_minigun
Almost two years later exactly (off by 8 days), the backpack icons, model and textures for the Assault Cannon were accidentally leaked in the Jungle Inferno Update. Based on the patch diff for the update, it appears that when Valve migrated some weapons and cosmetics over to the tf\models\workshop directory from their original directories (tf\models\player\items, tf\models\weapons\c_models), they accidentally migrated some staging build (in-dev) Workshop content they were testing at the time (if not for the past two years) and pushed it in the update.
The Assault Cannon was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
