Harpoon Gun

The Harpoon Cannon or sometimes known as the Harpoon Gun or Harpoon Launcher Avatar: The Way of Water: The Visual Dictionary page 78-79 is a type of harpoon launcher mainly used for hunting Tulkuns in Cetacean Operations, but can also be used as a makeshift weapon against other forms of life in Pandora.
==Description==
This whaling equipment is a giant harpoon launcher mounted on the bow of a Matador. It sits upon a swivel turret, offering a near 360 degree field of coverage.
The harpoon itself is a large, strong rod with an explosive rocket-assisted tip attached to a long cable of high-tensile composite materials that could withstand the pull and violent tussle with a Tulkun. The Cannon holds the harpoon with a massive amount of torque, and is able to release its potential energy with enough force to pierce through the thick hide of a Tulkun whilst underwater.Avatar: The Way of Water Once embedded (usually on the Tulkun's chest), the explosive tip would detonate, causing grievous internal wounds to the Tulkun, resulting in death.
The equipment boasts an in-built computer, camera and HUD screen for the operator to know the depth of the harpoon when fired, the amount of cable is left amongst other diagnostics. The harpoon is able to be guided due to the aforementioned onboard computer, allowing the operator avoid the harpoon from being snagged by obstructive materials.
Despite being largely used for non-military purposes, the Harpoon Cannon is just as capable of being used as a deadly weapon against enemy combatants. The Harpoon Cannon can reload through a mechanism located on the Matador's second deck which opens up to reveal more harpoons.
