The firing mechanisms of the Catapult should be quite self-explanatory (though the model itself depicts a counter-balanced Trebuchet design), but what makes this Catapult unique is its ammunition.

	As noted above, the Catapult throws a pot of Buzzer ~~Squigs~~, a special kind of Squig ~~which~~ are essentially insect-sized piranhas. Buzzers get hungry and angry ''very quickly'' and a swarm of them can strip a man-sized target into bones within mere minutes. Although the catapult itself is woefully inaccurate even by Ork Standards, the Squigs are mobile enough to find their nearest target, compensating for that flaw. This means that the Orks are the only faction that is capable of [[What\|out-NOMMING the]] [[Tyranids]] [[Derp\|in their own game]] [[Troll\|and it is often advised to look]] [[Lulz\|at the face of a 'Nid player]] [[Butthurt\|as his entire Gaunt army is reduced to giblets.]] Heck even tank crews and fucking [[Dreadnoughts]] aren't safe as the Squigs are small enough (they are roughly the size of a large beetle) to fit through cracks or holes before eating the crew alive.
