Project P.I.T.T. Piston vs Launcher
Piston vs Launcher: Use documented piston state/attachment behavior where that is the decision.
Use documented piston state/attachment behavior where that is the decision. No comparative force or throughput table exists here.
When to investigate Piston
The Piston has patch-documented off/on state and movable-attachment behavior.
Choose by the observed task, not a tool name that merely sounds stronger. Retain the source scope when applying this comparison.

Decision record
Use documented piston state/attachment behavior where that is the decision. No comparative force or throughput table exists here.
| Option | Use case | Not established |
|---|---|---|
| Piston | The Piston has patch-documented off/on state and movable-attachment behavior. | Universal optimum / exact throughput |
| Launcher | The Launcher is officially named, but its complete trajectory and timing specification is not published in the accepted source. | Universal optimum / exact throughput |
