In this same book, his airship is called the black hawk, which is now a very recognizable military helicopter name. Tom's electric rifle is a swiss arm of lethal and non lethal tricks and widgets. It can shoot through walls without leaving a hole. And it cold even simply light up the night with a hovering glowing ball to stop rampaging animals in the dark.
