Electro cannons were weapons, which were used by a number of Matoran in the Matoran Universe. They were known to fire Electrical bursts.
History[]
Creation[]
Like most forms of harmful technology and weapons, the Electro cannon was created in Xia. The weapon was created some time prior to the Metru-Nui Civil War yet after the formation of the Dark Hunters.
Vacca-Nui[]
Although the Matoran of Vacca-Nui were not known for violence, an Av-Matoran military-policeman named Glonor was issued with an Electro cannon prior to the Metru-Nui Civil War 79,500 years ago. He used his Electro cannon to capture and threaten a Po-Matoran - who had been sold land, by the island's local Turaga, and had then sold that land on to the Dark Hunters. After discussing the Po-Matoran's motives for committing treason, Glonor proceeded to fire the Electro cannon at his prisoner then pushed him off of a cliff edge. He later noted that he had not intended to kill the Po-Matoran with the Electro cannon.
Krannato-Nui[]
60,000 years ago, during the Time Slip, the Matoran of Krennato-Nui were dragged into a war against a Visorak Swarm that threatened to invade their island. The Matoran were known to have been armed with Electro cannons for this event.
Fractures universe[]
In the Fractures Universe, Electro cannons were a lot more popular as they were issued to Matoran during a recent war against the Brotherhood of Makuta. Many Matoran in Metru-Nui were issued with standard handheld Electro cannons.
Function[]
The standard Electro cannon consisted of three key components: the handle, a dial, and the tip. The handle was usually made of metal or plastic and allowed better gripping for a user. The dial allowed the user to change the voltage of the electricity burst. The tip was commonly a detachable appliance that aided focusing. Glonor was not known to use this appliance as he felt it disrupted the balance of the weapon, which made the aiming worse.
