Black Dragon Cannon

Black Dragon Cannon is the fourth break-action weapon to be introduced into Counter-Strike Online obtainable only through special events and from Code Boxes.

Overview
The Black Dragon Cannon is capable of firing 20 explosive Cannon Rounds which detonate within the targeted area creating a large volcano-like explosion that deals tremendous damage to anything in its radius. Also, the weapon's gun barrel is built short, granting excellent mobility in combat.
