Harpax The harpax or harpago was a Roman catapult - shot grapnel created by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa for use against Sextus Pompey during the naval battles of the Sicilian revolt . The harpax allowed an enemy vessel to be harpooned and then winched alongside for boarding . It was first deployed at the Battle of Naulochus in 36 BC . Appian explains the device " called the ' grip ' , [ was ] a piece of wood , five cubits long bound with iron and having rings at the extremities . To one of these rings was attached the grip itself , an iron claw , to the other numerous ropes , which drew it by machine power after it had been thrown by a catapult and had seized the enemy ' s ships . " The harpax had a distinct advantage over the traditional naval boarding device , the corvus , in that it was much lighter . The corvus boarding bridge is estimated to have weighed a ton . The harpax could be thrown long distances due its light weight . It was discharged by a ballista as if it were a heavy dart . Furthermore , the harpax was composed of iron bands that could not be cut , and the ropes could not be cut due to the length of the iron grapple . Appian notes " As this apparatus had never been known before , the enemy had not provided themselves with scythe - mounted poles . " The casualty totals provide a broad picture of the tool ' s effectiveness : Sextus lost 180 of a total force of 300 warships - 28 by ramming and 155 by capture and by fire .

Denel NTW - 20 The NTW - 20 is a South African anti - materiel rifle or large - calibre sniper rifle , developed by Denel Mechem in the 1990s . It is intended for deployment against a wide variety of targets , including parked aircraft , telecommunication masts , power lines , missile sites , radar installations , refineries , satellite dish es , gun emplacements , bunker s and personnel , using a range of specialized projectiles . As with other weapons of this type , it can also be used for counter sniping and ordnance disposal ( shooting explosive ordnance from a safe distance ) . Development . The weapon was designed by Tony Neophytou ( co - designer of the innovative Neostead combat shotgun ) . Development of the system began in August 1995 under the " Aerotek " name and a working prototype was ready for testing four and a half months later . This rapid progress was made possible by Neophytou ' s extensive expertise in the field of recoil reduction systems , having worked on helicopter turrets in the past . In order to further reduce the amount of research and development , the project recycled the barrel , bolt and barrel extension of the existing Vektor GA1 automatic cannon . It was put into production by Denel Land Systems in two versions ; 20 x 110 and 20 x 82 . The latter model is also available in 14 . 5 x 114 and conversion between the calibres can be done in the field by swapping the barrel and bolt assembly . The significantly larger 20 x 110 model cannot be converted to another calibre . The rifle was accepted into service with the South African National Defence Force in 1998 . Features . The NTW 20 / 14 . 5 is one of the few firearms in existence that allow the changing of the caliber without completely disassembling and reworking the weapon . Switching between the two calibers of the NTW ( 20mm and 14 . 5mm ) requires changing the bolt , barrel , sighting gear and magazine . ( A third variant , the NTW 20x110 has also been developed , but is not designed for barrel caliber switching . ) Caliber switching the NTW 20 / 14 . 5 can be accomplished simply in the field without specialized tools . The magazine protrudes from the left side of the receiver . The NTW can be disassembled and packed into two backpacks for carriage . A muzzle brake is fitted on the end of the barrel which absorbs an estimated 50 % - 60 % of recoil . This is further supplemented by a buffered slide in the receiver . Influence . Denel Land Systems was also contracted to supply various weapon systems for the Indian Armed Forces , including Anti - material rifle s and Self - propelled howitzers . However , following allegations that it had paid kickbacks to secure a deal for anti - material rifles , Denel was black - listed by the government . Subsequently , the Ordnance Factory Tiruchirapalli ( OFT ) , in association with the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO ) , began developing an indigenous antimaterial rifle called Vidhwansak , which borrowed heavily from the Denel NTW - 20 . The development of Vidhwansak was completed in November 2005 .
