I guess it depends on what your definition of a rammer is. Imo, anything with a dedicated static plow or slow lifting design (or any static brick if you will) is a rammer. A 4 bar lifter, breaker box clone, or simple clamp (or jaw) design is a lifter

Hellhound = Breaker Box clone, but definitely a rammer. Personally I think it all has to do with intent and primary attacking method. If the weapon is there mainly just to gain leverage and the drivetrain (and using it to control the fight) is the primary attacking focus, then it's a rammer.

It also lands in the category of a rammer given that it has a 1 point lifter as stated
