Grapnel-harpoon launcher

The grapnel-harpoon launcher, known simply as the grapnel launcher, was a non-lethal weapon and climbing tool produced by the weapons division of Pharr Co.

Produced with the targeting capabilities and balance to be used effectively in the middle of combat, the grapnel-harpoon launcher used a magnetic firing mechanism to launch a grappling hook and line with enough force and precision to be classified as a light weapon.

In addition to using its high-powered hook and internal winch as a standard climbing tool, the grapnel-harpoon was also especially suited to snaring and entangling opponents in the launcher's high-tensile cord, and was often often used by thieves and bounty hunters who didn't want their victims to fight back.
