none

The weapon gives a falling pod two effects: a SMOKEY smoke trail, and repeated shots at its landing cell. Without a weapon, the pod leaves no trail and fires nothing, and the rest of its fall and landing is unchanged. Descent and airborne effects describes the shots.

Give the weapon a nonzero Damage and a warhead that lists at least one AnimList animation. Otherwise the game crashes on the pod’s first shot.

Register this weapon to keep weapon numbers stable

A weapon missing from the rules [Weapons] list is numbered where it is first named, and [General] is read before any object type names its weapons. Adding, removing or renaming an unlisted weapon here therefore shifts the weapon numbers stored in Do Explosion At trigger actions. Listing the weapon in [Weapons] fixes its number.
