They should be, but just calling them "hail cannons" sounds way more diabolical.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I want one.

Is that an actual thing or is this an Onion type article? Seriously, I've never heard of such a thing, and you'd think car lots here in the US would have them too.

Can we get mobile hail cannons set to deploy to where a hurricane is slated to make landfall?

Would this cannon work in the winter to keep snow from falling?

Oh crap...actual reputable news source:

...there’s a lack of scientific evidence that the cannons actually impact weather conditions and minimize hail, and their legitimacy has long been criticized.

There’s a 99% Invisible pod about using stuff like this to change the weather back in WW2 days I believe.

I'm not sure but you can use them against the Incredible Hulk.

Nah! I prefer the cone of silence.

For the amount of potential damage to be caused, seems like it wouldn't hurt to try...
