Because the catapult is effective.
A catapult is probably more effective, though a pulley is easier and safer to use.
A catapult is the product of relatively straightforward attempts to increase the range and penetrating power of missiles by strengthening the bow which propelled them

Effective range- 50 yards. Maximum- 1 mile
For a 9mm PISTOL- effective range is about 50 meters. Max range about 960.
What is the maximum effective range of the M16A2 and M9?
The effectiveness of a weapon depends on the situation and the target. A catapult is typically used for launching large projectiles, such as rocks or fireballs, over a long distance. A trebuchet, on the other hand, is known for its accuracy and ability to launch heavy projectiles at high speeds. A ballista, with its powerful bolts, excels at piercing armor and fortifications. Ultimately, the most effective weapon would depend on the specific objective of the attack and the defensive measures in place.
The average medielval catapult was manned by four men, two to wind the rope taught, one for range finding and aiming, and the last man for loading and firing.
The catapult worked by using tension in ropes to pull back the projectile cradle, then release and fling the object. The catapult ropes were usually cranked until enough tension existed, then it was released an all that potential energy turned into mechanical kinetic energy, flinging the object.
The maximum effective range of a point target on the M249 is 800 meters. The maximum effective range of an area target is 1000 meters. The maximum range is about 3600 meters.
50 metres is going to be the given effective range of any pistol.
