#Grappling hook code#
The Knightmare Frames in Code Geass are usually equipped with one or more grapples called Slash Harkens, including flying versions.In Chrono Crusade, Rosette has a grapnel gun built into her pistol that gets used once.Roger Smith also possesses a Grappling Hook Pistol in his watch that makes an appearance nearly every time his feet leave the ground. The Big O, which took inspiration from Batman, has a set of Grappling Hook cannons on its waist, which are used to pull things around, pierce enemies, hoist gigantic robots hundreds of feet into the air supported by a thin latticework, and anchor it into the ground before using its ultimate cannon attack.Later into the manga, a version of the maneuver gear is seen having proper grappling hook pistols used by the Military Police's Central 1st Brigade. The hooks are also occasionally seen to fail to latch to their targets, and running out of gas is a clear concern. A bit more realistic than most, since it's depicted as having a large reel mechanism to house the cables and a pair of fairly large gas cannisters, acting as both the propellant for firing and retracting the hook as well as a way to add forward momentum to help push people along. The 3D Maneuver Gear from Attack on Titan is a form of this, albeit worn as a bulky belt-mounted apparatus.
Arachnid: Alice's Weapon of Choice is the "Kumoito", or "Spider's Thread", a length of spider-silk with a hooked blade on the end that works rather like a cross between Razor Floss and a Grappling-Hook Pistol.There is no line capable of withstanding the sheer force that goes into a car turning at high speeds - yet. Also, they couldn't get the grapple to consistently attach itself to the intended target.Ī variation - also partially busted by the Mythbusters - has the grappling hook attached to the hero's (or villain's) car, for turning corners at high speed. (Because the aforementioned size makes them too large to be carried around on a superhero belt.) An ascension device was built that essentially fit the size, but including the launching mechanism would have made it simply too bulky.
Partially busted by the MythBusters in 2007. Hook is massive, rope adds a lot of drag, so the launcher's power (and recoil) should be considerable. As in "pneumatic Grenade Launcher of load-bearing design with built-in reel of strong rope" - though strong crossbow could work too.
Grappling guns actually exist (see " Real Life" below), but the real ones are somewhat larger than depicted on screen, especially if not base-fired only (though recent designs allow more compact systems). It's also very handy when you find yourself or an innocent civilian falling, but let's hope the cord has some elasticity. If the cord can automatically retract, the person can just hold on with one hand with inhuman strength to get pulled up this is especially dramatic if they're holding someone else with their other arm. The wrap-around cable is a strange effect, as it always attaches to the anchor point snugly enough to support whatever is on the other end of the cable on the first try. The hooks themselves are Plot-Sensitive Items, capable of all three variants of Instant Knots - latching onto, wrapping the cable around, or piercing their target, depending on the needs of the script. but it generally conveniently appears from hammerspace when it is needed. Its limited utility makes it a special-purpose item that the hero is unlikely to carry. The Grappling-Hook Pistol is generally a fairly bulky item for a handheld pistol, though unreasonably small for the length of line and hook firing charge that it contains.
