Deck Cannon

A huge double-barreled cannon that is mounted on top of the ship instead of the side for extra stability. Each barrel fuses together ten rounds of projectile ammunition and is so loud that it briefly stuns nearby crew.
The front and sides cannot be within 2 tiles of other roof turrets or "tall" parts.
The Deck Cannon is an incredibly large double-barreled cannon. When fired, the cannon combines 10 rounds of ammunition into 1 incredibly powerful projectile (20 for 2).
Unlike most other weapons, the Deck Cannon is mounted atop a ship rather than on the sides, allowing it to be encased within armor or other parts. However, the cannon firing will stun all crew members around it in a 6 meters radius between 0 - 0.5 seconds, meaning it is vital to careful consider the placement.
It also cannot be placed within 2 tiles of other top-mounted turrets, or "tall" parts such as a Sensor Array. However, since the ammo strip at its back does not count for that restriction, you can put two deck cannons back-to-back.
Note that due to the crew stun, the alternate firing mode is not recommended as it caused double the amount of stuns to fire the same number of shots, potentially requiring more loaders to function.
