The device is loaded with multiple flaming bolts in its magazine and a single oversized metal-tipped bolt poised in the firing groove, showcasing its dual capability for anti-personnel and light fortification damage. Its design reflects historical engineering used by Roman and later medieval armies for siege warfare.
