Reloadable Bomb Ballista

Block count: 249

This is a 16 shot long range bomb launcher / bomb cannon / slingshot, its a very reliable machine and is quite mobile. The firing mechanism is inspired by s900712z howitzer - bomb shooter. No bsg editing or mods used.
Take your time when shooting, let the recoil settle and make sure the bomb is secure in the chamber, it shouldn't break if you are using it right.
If you enjoyed sniping those filthy peasants from the edge of the map, please leave an upvote.

Controls:
Arrow keys for movements
Q and E keys: Raise and Lower the gun
Left shift: reload from the left chute
Left ctrl: reload from the right chute
L key: launch a bomb, make sure the bomb is settled in the barrel, it helps if you wait until the gun has settled from the recoil before firing
Mouse Click: activate FPS mode

On my PC it works best around 80-90% timescale

Iron sights: the top horizontal bar is for closer range targets e.g. the duke's freighters from bounding box
The middle bar is for long range targets, (try to snipe the statue in the sandbox at edge of map, see pics).
The vertical bar is to help line up the shot. Use F for best results.

Hope you enjoy it, any suggestions are welcome. 100% Vanilla.

A smaller, 10 shot version is now available in this collection.
