Spiker

"The Löwa near the front of the ragged group depressed triggers embedded in their bronze tubes, releasing short spears... Some of the soldiers dropped to one knee to fire while some braced themselves against trees to help steady their aim." "—The Sword and Its Servant"

Spikers were weapons devised by Löwa weaponsmiths. They were bronze tubes with handles and triggers that could launch short harpoons hundreds of feet away. When loaded, they could also be used as plain spears.

Spikers came in a variety of sizes, including pistol-like versions popular among the Jagdlegion.
