Ah, an oldie but still goodie. 500 damage may not seem like much, but Cannon Soldier is often used when you want to clear your side of the field or just want to get that extra little bit of damage in. Works great with "Scapegoat" (turn the Sheep into 2000 Damage), and he can tribute himself to slip under "Skill Drain". He doesn't see much play these days, but he can fit in nicely in more than few decks in order to provide that extra little bit needed in order to provide victory.

Rise of the Machines! Cannon Soldier MRD-EN106

I love this guy. I use 3 in my Machine Burn deck. Once I get him out with a Gravity Bind on the field, he doesn't die too quickly. Then I can keep getting little guys out, duplicating them, and launching them for 1500 total dmg. One of my favorite combos with him is Change of Heart or Snatch Steal and him. Steal a monster, then launch it away for a quick 500 damage.

About 2 months ago I built a Cannon Soldier deck. The first tourament I got schooled playing it.....a bit of tweaking and the next tournament I went 4-0 in the swiss before narrowly losing to one of the top players in our area.
I've found that Soul Exchange can be quite helpful in this type deck as well as what you would normally play. The nice thing about Soul Exchange is that you can play it at the beginning of the turn and it creates a floating effect. After Soul Exchange has been activated (and assuming it wasn't negated) when Cannon Soldier is summoned you'll have priority to activate Cannon Soldier and then use Soul Exchange's floating effect.
I play my Cannon Soldier deck with Ojama Trio limiting my opponent's ability to over run my field. With 2 Soul Exchanges, Snatch Steal, Change of Heart, Level Limit Area B, Messenger of the Peace, and of course Scapegoat I've got plenty of defense and stall to pick away at my opponent and use his own monsters as launching bait.
