Line-Launcher
A device that launches rope, string, or associated fibers such as krypto-fibers. It has a projectile distance of up to 500 yards and runs on CRT (Coil-Release Technology).
It reduces to a very compact size, so it fits in a pocket or backpack. Rob Newman always carries one.
He once used his to shoot a strand of krypto-web at the chopto-hopto-copter, preventing PTH from escaping.
