Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In fiction, particularly video games, the Human Cannonball act is, not much like Real Life, a popular way for a character to choose to travel instantly (or, if they're really unlucky, unwillingly). However, unlike in real life, fiction treats being shot out of a cannon in a very, very literal way. Unlike in actual acts, cannons used for this purpose in fiction are never powered by a large spring or compressed air, but by literal gunpowder and lighting the fuse. (Any explosions you might see in circus acts are just for show.) Expect characters to be shot really long distances too, on the country wide or even interplanetary scale. Expect them also to make a sudden stop via wall or solid piece of ground (or water) at the other end. In some works, there will not even be any apparent effects on gravity on anyone in mid flight, meaning their flight path will be a completely straight line from point A to B. May also be done with a large medieval catapult in some comical settings. |
