∙ 11y agoWell, it depends on what kind of catapult of your choice. For example the trebuchet works by transferring the stored weight to the projectile. The main source of energy is in a counter weight. The heavier the counter weight the farther the payload will travel. The mangonel works by having a arm with a basket at the end that accelerates and it propels the payload forward. The energy mainly comes from the twisted ropes or from flexed pieces of wood.

∙ 10y agoA Roman piece of artillery called a catapult was a useful weapon during a Roman siege of a city or enemy fortress. The catapult could be loaded with rocks to destroy enemy walls and act as a cannon ball against enemy troops within a city or fortress. The catapult could also contain a combustible piece of wood to try and set a fire inside enemy walls. As another method of using a catapult to destroy enemy soldiers was placing nails and pieces of scrap metal in the catapult to do as much damage as it could to the enemy.
