Not to give anything away, but I will be addressing this very issue in a couple of upcoming products. This is all I can say for now.
The fact that I want an 800mm Cannon?.
The issue of anti-dragon countermeasures.  Though an 800mm Cannon would be cool too.   :)
Oh...

I see you that and raise you a bored Canadian.

See what happens when we're not allowed to play with firearms?

Thanks for the plot fodder, +1!

Honestly?

You just figured out what happens when Canadians get bored yet with all the posting and things that I do on the forums???

I want a 800mm cannon now.
Try and find one

Made by a company named.... Krupp

Somehow that name rings a bell...

Krupp has been making steel for a long, long time.

I think my entrenching tool is Krupp Steel.

Yeah... I know... Thyssen Krupp is the company that built my building's elevator.
Had 5 malfunctions resulting in people trapped inside, this year alone.

Krupp is older than Thyssen Krupp.  Much older.  As for the malfunctions, German Over-Engineering rears it's ugly head again?  Or shoddy maintenance?

One of my characters prefers blades made of Krupp Steel, preferably from the oldest foundries, or actually made by swordsmiths.  He was on the fencing team in University, but prefers a short blade considering what he does now.

I'm a construction manager, Thyssen Krupp elevators are over-engineered under-performing pieces of crap. When I opened a building in Miami Beach we had so many entrapments that the Miami Dade Fire/Rescue started actually billing us, no joke!

In their defense, I have to mention that the past 40-50 years or so, the elevator worked perfectly without needing much maintenance.
Then the government's new "elevator safety guidelines" came into effect and the thing needed to be "upgraded for safety". Since then it's a trap. Good German engineering of the "they don't make them like that anymore these days" fashion, botched by modding it with modern "if we have it made by underpaid and overworked Chinese kids we can make it even cheaper" technology.

German Over-Engineering rears it's ugly head again, and Government's ugly stupidity rears even larger.   :P

Never said Over-Engineering is a bad thing, gives you more things to jury-rig with.  ;D

How did you people get the idea a weapon could be a viable "Anti-Dragon Measure"?
From all data Horizon has to offer, keeping your head low or kissing his ass have like 68% higher chances to make a Dragon not eat you then any sort of prepared weapon.

*Whimper* I once ran paradise lost. Not only did the team loot every cyberdeck in the last location (Numerous Fuchi Cyber-6's and a single Cyber-8), but they slaughtered the poor feathered serpent with a single burst from a SPAS-22.  :'(

Basically, a salvo of ATMs should do the trick. Or a C-130 air-dropping a Juggernaut onto it's head.  :P
