In the days before gunpowder (at least in the west), folks had to find new
and intriguing ways to throw death and destruction at each other. They started
by throwing rocks, then progressed to hurling giant stones, and then to flinging
boulders. The evolution of the machines used to accomplish this hurling is as
intriguing as the things hurled. Many times trash and debris were lobbed over
castle walls to rain down upon unsuspecting masses or invading armies.
These kits let you bring back all the fun of flinging. Each one can assemble
in just a few hours, and provides a fantastic scale model of an actual war weapon
of yore. The catapult is perfect for chucking balls of paper and other small
objects over cubicle walls. The trebuchet is better for long range targets (like
the water cooler or networked printer). The ballista is excellent at laying
down some old school cover fire. And, all you need to put them together are
some strong fingers (or pliers), a cutting tool, and glue (not included). All
three kits are perfect for showing your love of retro weaponry.
Please Note: Though these kits are for educational purposes, they are functional.
Care should be taken when constructing and using them. Don't use anything living
as a target or projectile.
