Catapults Versus Trebuchets



Yesterday I began my experiment. I had finished building the catapults on thursday. I placed my catapult and my trebuchet next to each other in an open area. I shot ball one, three times from each weapon, and measured the distances. Then, I fired ball two, which was lighter, three times from each weapon, and measured the distances. I concluded, it was just as I had hypothesized. The catapults throws were much farther than the trebuchets, about two times farther. So my experiment was allot of fun and a great success. I know now that based on a range a catapult would be more fit for battle than a trebuchet.
