Hydro-Jet Cannon - Revision history

Magic9mushroom: Unlike the equivalent in UFO, the HJC's auto mode is not especially slow (compared to other TFTD weapons). Only the Gauss Pistol actually has a faster autoshot (the Jet Harpoon and Gauss Rifle are the same speed)..

	The Hydro-Jet Cannon is a fully automatic firing variant of the [[Gas Cannon]], and takes an equivalent set of variable ammunition types. Compared to the Gas Cannon, the Hydro-Jet ammunition trades off lower power for a greater ammunition supply and a ~~slow~~ three-round auto firing mode. The Hydro-Jet Cannon can only be operated underwater.		The Hydro-Jet Cannon is a fully automatic firing variant of the [[Gas Cannon]], and takes an equivalent set of variable ammunition types.
