Catapults come in many sizes and powers, from the simple rubber and wood toy made by little boys, with a range of 10-20 yards to the giant trebuchets used in medieval siege warfare, capable of throwing large rocks up to half a mile.
See: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=06P_RNGP8LU for a Trebuchet in action.
The definition of a catapult might be a device that uses stored energy to propel a projectile, so that a bow is a species of catapult, but a gun isn't.
