n00b cannon

(n.) Any weapon used in a multiplayer game that is supposedly overpowered.
Although not limited to FPS and MMORPG genres, it is primarily used as a sarcastic remark against anybody who gets 'lucky kills', or just happens to be in the right place at the right time (Specifically against people who otherwise show little-no ability in the game).

ie.
Grenade launchers in general. (Battlefield, GunZ)
Tanks or heavily armored vehicles. (Battlefield, Halo)
Automatic shotguns. (CS:S, GunZ)
Machine guns. (CS:S, GunZ)
Semi-automatic sniper rifles. (CS:S)
Any mid-short range weapon that has a high probability to kill in one hit. (Any/all FPS)
Assassin or Sniper abilities (courtesy CoZ)
Low-level characters with powerful magic or weapons (ROSE, Runescape, WoW)

"Who killed me with the n00b cannon?!"
'It was the guy with absolutely no score. Well.. He has a score now, anyway.'
"Lucky n00b! I'ma kick your @$$ next round!"
