The Cannon (爆筒 Bakutou, literally meaning "Exclamation Tube") is a powerful type of weapon introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It fits over Pit's arm, and appears to be technologically advanced compared to other weapons. Cannons act as the grenade launchers of Pit's arsenal, and are often the most effective weapons to use on groups of enemies.
Attributes
Because of their size, cannons are one of the few weapons that slow Pit considerably, although this doesn't apply to air battles. They typically fire explosive rounds, and can be effective at defeating a large number of enemies at once as well as taking down larger or more powerful foes. The shells can detonate directly against a surface or foe, or they can bounce along the ground to home in on a target. These destructive rounds are only used for charged shots, while smaller pellets are shot for rapid-firing. Cannons' special attack lets Pit deliver a strong explosive blast that covers the whole screen.

A cannon that looks like a Tesla coil. It can launch balls of electricity that can paralyze enemies. Its projectiles do not bounce off walls or floors; instead, they hang in midair before expanding outwards. | ||
A strange cannon that looks mechanical with pink markings on the sides. The front somewhat resembles a crane claw with a pinkish center which fires dark spherical projectiles. While a dash charged shot makes the projectile moves fast, a standing charged shot makes the projectile move slower.
