The Weyl group of the Cn root system is the signed symmetric group. A Weyl reflection in 2εi​ changes the sign of coordinate i; one in εi​−εj​ interchanges coordinates i,j; one in εi​+εj​ interchanges and negates both coordinates. These generate all independent sign changes and all permutations, giving order 2nn!.
