Big Guns pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Shoot the left and right Cannon saucers to load one ball on each side, then shoot the center Cannon with the third ball for three-ball Multiball. After the first Multiball, the left load must be collected before the right one lights. During Multiball, shoot the lit Cannon to start Invincible, then clear the six center guard targets before time expires.

The goal
