Game Information
Steamlands
Hail Stone, as its name implies, fires big circular projectiles instead of normal bullets. The Hail Stone is widely considered a cannon than a gun, which is why it is commonly written as Hail Stone cannon. The Hail Stone can only rotate 90 degrees each side. The Hail Stone's cannon ball is affected by gravity unlike smaller bullets that fly straight.
The Hail Stone is also the first gun to use weapons other than bullets. Hail Stones appear throughout Steamlands, used by enemies and the player and can be found often on the ground. The Big Ben has a similar appearance to the Hail Stone, and the Matryoshka attacks similar to the Hail Stone. The Hail Stone's health starts out at 300 health points an and can be upgraded to 330. The Hail Stone's cannon ball deals 30 damage and can be upgraded to deal 35.
Nitrome Must Die
The Hail Stone appears in Nitrome Must Die on the Steamlands tank boss. The Hail Stone appears above the Booster on the Steamlands tank phase two, and on both sides of the Matryoshka in Phase 3.
Hail Stone fires small metal balls like in Steamlands, and aims at the player before firing. The metal balls don't deal that much damage, and can't reach the player when they are standing on the stone platform at the top of the level. Hail Stone can be destroyed, and can take more damage than Determinators.

Luckily for you this expertise is available in town. | The Hail Stone reloads its ammo with internal winch that pulls its heavy ammunition in. There's a supply store in town with better cables. |
