The pierrier is a stone throwing device and is used to cover a number of different types of war engine. Pierriers were employed either to smash walls or to throw projectiles over them.
All pierriers were made from wood. There are different types: the traction trebuchets, counterweight trebuchets, onagers (mangonels) and balistas (springalds).
Of course, the sling shot was the very first type.
