Developed by Balísta Ergostásio Synarmológisis, the Experimental Projector Smoke is an artillery and anti-tank simulation training aid designed to "lob" a smoke, paint, or small explosive canister round against a designated target. Theoretically could be used as an anti-personnel or anti-vehicle weapon of last resort.
A projector captured by Surenid militiamen during a cross-border skirmish with Constancian border guards in 1688 went on to be widely copied in workshops throughout the confederacy, becoming the default land-cruiser mounted infantry-support mortar utilised by the Popular Levy.
