Favell-pattern spring gun
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Favell-pattern spring gun is a trench catapult used by the Aexe Alliance on Aexe Cardinal.[1]
Description
Resembling a pipe organ, the Favell is operated by a two-person team. It has throwing arm, which has to be cranked back to arm the catapult. By pulling a trigger lanyard, a massive cluster of springs activates the catapult's arm which lobs grenades or ball bombs to a distance of 250 metres.[1]
