The splat is based on a wooden model build from a sketch of Leonardo da Vinci, exhibited at the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. It's also called "Ribauldequin" or „Orgellafette“ and is a multi barreled canon. It was built in 1952 by experts from IBM Italia based on Da Vinci's original historical sketches (from the Codex Atlanticus). This museum in Milan houses the world's most important collection of these wooden models.
