Information
Basic Info
The WST Mk2 (World's Smallest Turret Mark 2) is a TNT Cannon with adjustable arc functional in Vanilla Minecraft. The shell of the turret and gun barrels are for both aesthetic purposes in order to cover up unsightly exposed Redstone and for protection if the turret is shot at by another TNT cannon. It was envisioned as an upgrade to the Royal Navy's WST from the Airship Pirates series as by the time the Airship Pirates server came out, the WST became largely obsolete as scattershot guns became more common. This upgrade increases the range of the original WST as well as quadruples the firepower all while keeping a similar shell and look. I plan on making a refit to the Corvette Mk3 in the future to mount these turrets.

Nerd Stuff
The central timing mechanism for the gun is a pulse extender. How it works is that when the turret is powered by the Redstone torch tower underneath it, the propellant is dispensed. Upon powering the turret, the comparator clock is also locked preventing it from dispensing projectiles too early while a delayed signal is sent to the back of it. When the power turns off, the comparator clock is unlocked and the delayed signal stays on for a period of time turning the comparator clock on dispensing projectiles. A falling edge detector is attached to the piston and a delay wire so that when the signal to the gun goes off, the falling edge detector sends a signal to the delay wire and quickly extends then retracts the piston to control the arc.
The point at which the projectiles are at while they fall as the piston retracts when the propellant explodes is what determines the arc/trajectory of the gun. The longer the pulse is given to the gun, the later the piston will drop and thus the higher the trajectory. The shorter the pulse is given to the gun, the lower the trajectory. Because the projectiles are in mid-air when the propellant explodes, the blast force from the propellant TNT is unhindered by anything and allows the gun to reach much longer ranges with less propellant than most guns that use slabs or other mounting blocks for their projectiles.
The central timing mechanism/pulse extender is outside of the gun and can be wired to multiple turrets in order to adjust the trajectory and fire multiple turrets at the same time with the same trajectory.
Movecraft Compatibility
The turret is compatible with the Movecraft plugin and can be mounted on airships or as a stand-alone rotating turret if you wish to use it for base defense. This gun is primarily designed for more moderately sized combat vessels of Royal Navy/Lanier size standards such as their Corvettes. The subcraft rotate sign in the gun allows you to rotate the turret when right-clicking it or left-clicking it if Movecraft is installed.
The color pallet of the design and functional basis was based on that of Royal Navy weapons made by BaccaYarro. Design inspirations linked here:

Stats
Plugin Requirements ( None / Optional )
No plugins are required for the cannon to function as it is a purely Redstone device. However, the cannon can be used on Movecraft warships with their turret feature to allow it to face in different directions. Some servers that run Movecraft are ToTheEnd, Airship Pirates, and Strangelands.
