'''Gas Canister''' is a weapon that was originally planned by Team17 to be included with [[Worms Armageddon]], but eventually not making it through: possibly due to the introduction of the [[Skunk]]. However, its sprites, object class and behavior still exist in the latest version of the game, allowing modders to reuse the weapon in its integrity.

== Behavior ==
Once fired, a canister will sit for 5 seconds (with an animation similar to that of an [[Oil Drum]]), then it will release a flow of gas that will also continue for 5 seconds, and during this time the canister starts to grow just like a [[Dynamite]], finishing with an explosion.

== Notes ==
* Since this weapon was not officially released, it didn't acquire an object limit in code, thus having a risk to crash the game if repeatedly fired at a quick enough rate.

==Trivia==
*Gas Canister eventually returns in the ''Worms'' franchise since Worms 3D, a third-generation game (and thus outside of the scope of this wiki). However, that Gas Canister is a throwable grenade with a fuse.
