web shooter
Wrist-mounted line-slinger
A web shooter is a wrist-mounted device that shoots synthetic webbing, associated primarily with Spider-Man in Marvel comics and films.
The hero uses web shooters to swing between buildings, restrain enemies, and create web constructs.
In the original comics, Peter Parker invents them; some adaptations make the webbing an organic ability instead.
The term sometimes appears in toy marketing or cosplay contexts: He built working web shooters for the costume contest.
