A '''zinkall''' ,plural '''zinkallin''', is a ranged weapon used by [[Dayside|Daysiders]] on [[Taldain]]. They are powered by air pressure.{{book ref|ws1|4}} A zinkall looks like a set of thin reed-like pipes held together with rope mounted on the forearm, near the wrist. Each tube contains a small arrow, that can be launched by the wielder of the zinkall by pulling a trigger above the pipes, releasing the air and firing the arrow. The arrows are made from sandling carapace and usually have green fletching on the back of their shafts. The exact range of a zinkall is unknown. Zinkallin are common weapons on Dayside. They are seen used by [[Kerzta|Kerztian]] warrior-priests, [[Lossand]]in [[trackt]]s, and members of [[Sharezan]]'s gang.{{book ref|ws1|4}} [[Tain]] gives [[Ais]] a defective zinkall before luring her into a trap.{{book ref|ws3|5}}
