As a military weapon, they've long since been replaced by modern field artillery pieces. There are some competitions in the civil sector where students, scientists, and people who just enjoy it build catapults, trebuchets, and the like, and fling everything from stones to washing machines, and even cars.
In rural America here, we use them to throw pumpkins!
Catapults are not commonly used today in modern applications, as they have been largely replaced by more advanced technologies such as cranes, forklifts, and other mechanical lifting devices. However, historical reenactments, education demonstrations, and some research projects may still use catapults for experimental or entertainment purposes.
yes they use catapults
they used these catapults for war and destruction!
Hand held catapults are certainly used today. A good example would be by a carp angler.
For fun, like science experiments or sometimes the Army uses them for stuff, but I'm not sure otherwise.
Catapults were useed to throw things over castle walls to kill your enemy.
people play with them,also they can launch airplanes.
No modern military force still employs catapults as a combat arm. Today's catapults are largely built by hobbyists and re-enactors, as well as historical modelers, and are generally used for recreational activity.
