A '''numo''' is a weapon similar to an [[Wikipedia:air gun|air gun]], which works on compressed air. This weapon is apparently native to [[Equellus]], as [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] claims to have never seen one.

[[Puppis]] claims that a numo can kill a [[lupus]] from 10 [[metron]]s. Before that claim however, Puppis claimed that his mother, [[Vella]], was unable to hit the side of a [[w:granary|granary]] with a numo ([[The Lost Warrior]]).

==Note==
*Like many other terms in the Original Series, the naming of this weapon is derived from a real-world term. "Numo" is a sound-alike for a ''pneumatic'' gun, another word for a type of "BB" gun.
*Apollo's comment about never seeing a numo suggests that the [[Twelve Colonies of Man]] primarily uses energy weapons against the heavily armored Cylons during the [[Thousand Yahren War]]. This, of course, is supported in the events of this episode as many gunfighters fall to [[Red-Eye]] because their projectiles cannot pierce the Cylon's armor, while Apollo's [[laser pistol]] takes down the Cylon in one shot.
*The [[Weapons in the Re-imagined Series|weapons]] of the [[Re-imagined Series]], in contrast, are all projectile-based or use a form of conventional and nuclear explosives.
