The Firewind Cannon (風火砲, Kazeka Hou) is a weapon used in Suikoden.
Information
The Firewind Cannon was a treasure of the dwarves. It was said to be the only weapon that could destroy the Burning Mirror, another dwarf treasure. It fired projectiles from a tube so large that it would need to be carried by two people.
A Firewind Cannon was built by the dwarves during the Gate Rune War after it was proven plans for the Burning Mirror could be stolen. When Kwanda Rosman tried to use the Burning Mirror on the victorious Toran Liberation Army following the Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle, the Firewind Cannon destroyed the mirror before it could be deployed.
