What is a light Siege Engine?

[fader92805]

In Pathfinder Player Companion: Dragon-slayer's Handbook

it states under the Wyrm Sniper Archtype

"Artillery Proficiency: Wyrm snipers are proficient with light siege engines, in addition to the normal gunslinger weapon proficiencies."

I have looked all over and cannot find an example of a "light siege engine."

Their are some Siege engines with light in the title. But that answer feels a bit lazy to me, and I find it hard to believe that a Gunslinger siege archtype doesn't even allow them to use something like a cannon if they could only use ones with light in the title the only gunpowder operated one they could use is the light bombard.

Oh, gunslingers can use siege firearms without needing an archetype.

Proficiency: Siege engines are exotic weapons. A creature with the Siege Engineer feat is proficient with all siege engines, including siege firearms. A creature that is proficient in firearms is also proficient in siege firearms, but not other siege engines.

Light siege engines include light balistas and light catapults.

Actually, no it won't. Weapons, however big they are, don't end an adventuring career. They just deal hit point damage. A light balista deals 3d8 and a light catapult 4d6 points of damage. PCs hit with these weapons should be able to take such damage in stride once they are 3rd level or higher.
