A Super Weapon theorized by InventorJohn, it is the believed to be the first 'Super Weapon' and caused the LoN to go into shock and encourage members to develop their own 'Super Weapon'.

Testing of O.E.B.N Concept[edit | edit source]
After initial testing it became apparent that the original concept wouldn't work. A second concept was developed that involved using TNT as means propelling the cannon projectile towards it's target. However, this concept was scrapped somewhere during 2017 after testing revealed that TNT did not affect snowballs (which is what cannon projectiles are) and so would therefore likely not affect plugin cannon-fired projectile.
D.C.T aids development[edit | edit source]
After the failure of the second concept it seemed like it would be over. However, during the year of 2018 JohnArchaius learned about the existing Mass Drive concept (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_AEslsL6k0), learned about the effects and methods of TNT compression, and developed dry cannon technology (D.C.T.).
The Mass Drive concept allows TNT projectiles to achieve a much greater velocity and range whilst using less TNT than traditional techniques. TNT compression prevents propulsion power from being lost from the propellant being too far from the projectile -and arid cannon technology further increases the amount of propulsion power that is obtained from each TNT cannon.
Although arid cannon technology is not very practical in normal MineCraft due to the amount of TNT-proof blocks it would require, the claim plugin on PirateMC eliminates this problem.
This third, and probably final concept for O.E.B.N. will be tested sometime in the future. This O.E.B.N concept will use a purely TNT-based charge, which means the charge will need to have high velocity and multiple propellants to make sure that it reaches it's target before explodes. The ideal range for this weapon will be 3000 blocks, making for a total of 6000 block firing diameter.
Further details for how this weapon will work are classified.
