It was Big Bertha, wasn't it? The enormous German artillery that had to 
be mounted on a railroad car because the recoil was so big?

How about something like,
{{
name: Big Bertha
BNS: 400
RUs: 300
External: No
Reversable: No

The Owner of a Speeder with a Big Bertha may, if e is in eir speeder 
and has not already done so during the current nweek, Blast the Crap 
out of any of the eight directions N,S,E,W,NE,SE,SW,NW. When this 
happens, all squares on a line directly along the target direction from 
the speeder are treated as if Cans of Whoopass had been cracked open 
upon them.

The speeder doing the firing is moved in the opposite direction five 
squares; if this would result in the speeder passing through an 
Impassable object or off the end of the Grid, it is thrown Elbonia 
Style at the square on its before immediately before the path end.
