What do you think about this Lantaka

Battara, That's a nice looker. What are it's statistics.

On my lantaka, it still retains a broken piece of wood that was used to swivel/aim it.

I believe the Northern and Central Philippine Islanders used Lantakas as well.
I read an article where the Spanish found a Lantaka being made in Luzon. I have attached a photo of a group of Lantaka's in Datu Uto's arsenal. Also a photo that a forum member had posted before, from a Spanish Museum. Notice the rattan binding.
