Banky is a steam-powered heavy repeating arbalest. Ammunition is loaded from a selectable spring dual-feeder forming two 'wings' atop the receiver. Depressable silver bumps running along the back of these wings allow multiple types of ammunition to be loaded, in addition to the standard bolts. Each of these buttons has a small picture engraved on it showing what it is. As these pictures were meant to be mnemonics for the technomancer Gunna, they can be quite difficult to puzzle out. As examples, the Crow Said bolt has a picture of a bird's head, Wood Biter has someone eating a tree, and Fish Sticks has a picture of Aquaman's symbol. In case someone were to try one of these selector knobs, we have provided a random 1D30 table.
