Explanation:

Hail guns are to prevent hail from damaging the fruits not the snow.
The hail guns fire a curious mix of acetylene gas into the atmosphere at the black cloud formation manually by a gun operator. The Acetylene reacts with Oxygen in the air and creates a sound shock wave. The shock sound waves split up the ice bearing layers of the cloud and it is observed that it either comes down as rain or the thin sleet that do not damage the fruit.
