@pastward: Witness the raw power of one of the most iconic medieval war machines ever built: the catapult. With a simple yet brilliant design, this invention used a heavy counterweight and a sling to launch massive stones with terrifying force, smashing through wooden defenses and changing the rules of siege warfare. What makes the catapult so fascinating is how clever its mechanics are. The heavier the counterweight, the more energy it can transfer to the projectile. That balance of weight, force, and trajectory turned engineering into battlefield dominance. If you love ancient technology, forgotten inventions, and the genius of early civilization, this video is for you.

that trebuchet not catapult

garethnicholls103 :

you mean metres not miles

DVSurvivor :

can you put complacent people in it? 😂

Michael :

Correct me if I’m wrong but I always thought that the Greeks and the Romans used these very same catapults. As for range, well, up to 210 miles 😂😂😂😂, nah.

hockeyboy86 :

that a trebuche

granville :

Did they have rockets attached?

Baba-Yaga-In-The-Flesh💅 :

Interested

Mungo :

Metres is more accurate than miles 😂

Mikkel Hee Andersen :

fuuuck even IF the physics would add up .... schwerer Gustav would be a peashooter in comparison. IF you meant metres .... it makes a lot more sense
