I like the peasant railgun. The Lichkiller Gatling Ballista reminded me of the Bullista - "A weapon of admittedly limited range which attempted to sow confusion among the enemy by firing live cows into their midst, placing them upon a dilemma of the horns." ("Silly Weapons Throughout History", in Spider Robinson's "Antimony", picked up from "The Complete Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy Lists".)
