Finding a name is harder than developing the product :D. I think we already have nice suggestions.
Here are a few more: 1. Javelin : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javelin_throw 2. Catapult -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catapult 3. Dionysius -- they engineered the first version of catapult -- https://www.hellenicaworld.com/Greece/Technology/en/Catapults.html 4. Trebuchet -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet As you can see I am a little obsessed with catapults :-).
