The Siege Cannon projectile will bounce if it hits the ground. This can be used to skip through enemy formations, disrupting and killing many men. But the mission of the Siege Cannon is to pulverize enemy defenses from a distance, with the longest range and most devastating damage in the game.
So much power can be difficult to contain however. After 10 shots, there is a 3% chance on each following shot that the Siege Cannon will fail catastrophically.
