You focus your powers of observation on a massive chucker:
Item 'a massive chucker' is type container, alignment 0, made of reinforced-wood,
has keywords 'massive chucker slingshot slugthrower large'.
This item weighs 2 stones and 0 pebbles, and is valued at 72,000 gp.
This level 310 item has the attributes: identified no-sac nohide no-bury unbreakable magic-resistant
A massive chucker is in excellent condition.
Capacity: 1 item. Maximum weight: 26 st, 0 pb. Flags: none
When you look inside, you see:
     a dirty iron slug
This large slingshot looks particularly dangerous, which is balanced by
its complete immobility.  Constructed where it stands, it is not meant to be
a regular, handheld weapon, but more like a piece of artillery, ready to
fire a giant slug at whatever passes in front of it.  It is made of several
prime pieces of fresh-cut pine, and still smells like the forest.  However,
the smell is nearly negated by the furious, constant ice-storm present
overhead, as sleet and icicles pour out of the clouds.
