a great show on Discovery last night on medieval castle assault weapons they focused on a big rock throwing weapon called "trebouchet" decades later the cannon put the treb out of business the trebouchet worked like a catapult, only bigger cantalever slingshot threw 250lb rocks or junk on fire some Welsh castle was assaulted, surrendered to England's King Edward engineers were highly respected warriors, but not in society French and American carpenters built two major types one levered by 16000 lbs of lead rings other levered by 20000 lbs of loose rock in huge basket anyone see this?
