So a hatch would be more expensive, but faster.

I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

Here's mine, I used a very wide and tall reservoir for sustained fire and a lot of it. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's not exactly compact. :P

Impressive as it is, it's again only a magma tap. No cannon  :P

Maybe if you think of it as a cannon pointing downwards...

That's like saying anything can fly, but mostly only in one direction - down.

Exactly, and when I pull a specific lever, goblin invaders are so rejoiced they can once again reach their one true love - menacing wooden spikes - without the hindrance of bridges that they run towards them. Downwards. Through the air.

A magma cannon is an embodiment of all things dwarfy:
1. It uses magma.
2. It's a weapon.
3. It is dangerous to anyone in its area of effect.
4. It is deadly.
5. It is inefficient.
6. It is awesome.
