An autonomous cannon, and a French Harlequin Mercenary

The most grotesque gun available in Europe, the Autonomous Sentinel Cannon (or Infernal Sentinel) is actually a semi-intelligent construct, consisting (in crude terms) of a gun built into a thinking, perceptory demon construct on stilt-like legs. The gun cannot move much under its own volition, but is capable of swivelling and stepping in place to aim at targets. In the picture here the Gun is seen in the foreground, with a mercenary wielding an Infernal Cannon to the rear. The gun can see, and has limited target selection abilities (though it is easily confused). It can be stunned by Confustor Field Rods. The most alarming aspect of the Infernal Sentinel, however, is its fuel source – regardless of who builds them, Infernal Sentinels are always powered by human blood, usually a quart per 50 shots. Their handlers are also called corpse grinders for their habit of draining the blood of their victims to fuel their gun.
