After reading the topic: Ray Guns VS Slug Throwers http://brassgoggles.co.uk/bg-forum/index.php?topic=14180.0I had to do something to stop the voices in my head from DEMANDING I make a "SLUG" Thrower. Here is the first step. The ammo: And out of the casing (or shell): |

Maybe some kind of slingshot-type thing? Anything more forceful might kill the slug before it hits its target.

Exactly, a steam-powered brass RPG-like thing with the bottled slug in the nose as the payload. It's for general-purpose use vs. undead, since the jar is filled with holy water and slugs leave silver slime trails and eat rot.

Next up: breeding the carnivorous, voracious, yet acceleration-resistant weapons-grade gastropod! This is great!

That's Brilliant! The ammo is, of course, referred to as a Gastropod Shell....

If I remember correctly, the original idea for the "thrower", from the Ray Guns VS Slug Throwers thread was a wrist-mounted catapult. However, whatever the launcher ends up being, I'm entirely positive it will be a superb piece of engineering. EDIT: Note to self, remember to double check the contents of my posts before pressing "send", especially at late hours of the night.  |

This is just too funny, therefore I retract my slingshot suggestion in favor of the Rocket Propelled Gastropod. EDIT: I just had the funniest mental picture, of a slug wearing a flight cap and goggles, with a tiny rocket pack strapped to its back, zooming off to battle... |

what about a catapult type thing. A throwing arm etc. A literal slug thrower.

Oh, Bravo for the Rocket Propelled Gastropod, just lovely.
Now then, for the final touch, the handheld launcher. Do you know the name of the device used to launch fighter jets from aircraft carriers? It is called a "steam catapult." Truly.
And with this, the circle is closed and the Steampunk Slugthrower concept is complete.

Ye gods, what have I wrought? I make one idle comment about catapulting toxic garden slugs, and this is the result?
