A Cannon is an object that appears in numerous levels of Lemmings 2: The Tribes and Lemmings Touch. Cannons are used to launch Lemmings across distances, and can be repositioned to change a Lemming's trajectory. Only one Lemming can use a Cannon at a time.
Function[]
A Lemming can enter a Cannon as long as it is not currently in use. When a Lemming enters a Cannon, it is launched into the air and can safely make one impact on a surface regardless of the distance, height, or duration of its flight. If a launched Lemming touches a surface at its side or its head, it will begin to fall, which will make it vulnerable to splatting if it does not land soon and is not a Floater.
In Lemmings 2: The Tribes, every Cannon is placed on a flat surface, on which it can be moved by selecting arrow buttons at either end of this surface. The Cannon is slowly moved toward whichever direction is indicated by the selected arrow.
In Lemmings Touch, a Cannon cannot be moved from its place. Instead, a Cannon is repositioned by pointing its barrel in a different direction using the touchscreen. When a Cannon is touched, a dotted outline appears to display an approximation of its trajectory.
