I've always been able to appreciate a good name for your weapon, but I've discovered while reading Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, & Pyrotechnics: the History of the Explosive that Changed the World, the Chinese handed the rest of the world their asses when it came to the best names for things that go boom.
To wit:
Dropping from Heaven Bomb
Match for Ten Thousand Enemies Bomb
Bandit-Burning Vision-Confusing Magic Fire-Ball
Bone-Burning and Bruising Fire Oil Magic Bomb
Bandit-Striking Penetrating Lance
Nine-Arrow Heart-Piercing Magic-Poison Thunderous Fre Erupter
