Fire pipe... I think hannibus (fantasy weed) would be good with that.
[/quote]Many of our names have ridiculously mundane origins. The creators probably just literally described what they saw.
Call them fire tubes if you want.
Anyways my other alternatives were the German equivalents of boom tubes or thundering tubes.
:lol

[quote]And the poor mans pocket rocket? Like.. Budget panzerfaust?
[/quote]Which one you mean?
Well, the Rohr looks mostly like a hand cannon but with a flint to make sparks. No mechanism or trigger but the operator literally hits the stone.
Grüssrohre are wooden cannons. There are historical evidence to their use when normal artillery was either insufficient or unavailable.
Similarly finding large rocks or similar stuff to shoot is much more likely than having carts full of cannonballs "just in case". This kind of weapon is both convenient and simple enough to show the "primitive" state of my nation.

As for Donnersalz, it's a fantasy black powder. They have long traditions to their making and each tribe has their own recipes. Rohrerim rarely if ever is willing to trade Donnersalz to people outside their culture.

EDIT: After reading my profile and/or this post of mine, anyone who still have issues with my nomads' weapons please notify me. This is supposed to be a nation of sorts with an unique quirk. Nothing else. Horse archers are fun but if anyone knows me by now they also know I like to break the mold a bit.
:lol
