Ballista!!!

Another medieval war machine that busts through castle walls. Mine throws a paintball 30 feet with a 12" diameter of the spot where it will hit (put a bucket in the right spot, and every shot will go into it).

P.S. It hits the wall in the picture with the trebuchet from the same spot.

Comments:
Parents of other children worry that their children may not be able to come up with a science project. I worry that the science teacher will never believe it to be independent work, or that the science teacher will contact social services for a home visit to see why my kid is constantly building weapons...
 
8 D A modification that took about 30 minutes added 6 feet to the range.

Mom: You can have a guest speaker come in and do your project for you.
 
Next on my agenda: a catapult!!! Muwahahaha!!
 
I got it to shoot 45 feet today.
 
45 feet - that's 22 persons + 1 with only 1 foot or 15 with 3 feet?????? - I'm confused!
 
45 foot range.
