Official description
Most plans for grenade launchers found in the ceres project involved bullet-type ammo, where the grenade was first shot like a slug and then a small payload of explosives was delivered. Calispicus, a former machinist in the dome of york, decided it would be better to find a way to deliver a much larger payload without the risk of it exploding from the initial firing. After devising that hydraulics were much too heavy, he decided the best way to launch a grenade without any combustion was a pneumatic delivery system. He tore apart a small pneumatic forklift for parts and quickly went to work forging the chassis of the weapon. After producing a decidedly large but functional prototype, he was given a team to help him refine and miniaturize it until they came with a model similar to the current one. Since then the only real changes have been cosmetic
