Its mechanical design allowed for the effective breaching of castle walls and fortifications, significantly impacting siege warfare. Trebuchets were capable of hurling stones, fire, and even disease-ridden materials, contributing to their fearsome reputation. Their use declined with the advent of gunpowder artillery, but they remain iconic in historical warfare.

The trebuchet was much like a catapult. It was replaced with the cannon, and later, firearms.
A trebuchet uses the force of gravity to propel its projectile. The counterweight falling creates kinetic energy, which is transferred to the arm of the trebuchet and then to the projectile, launching it forward. Additionally, the leverage provided by the long arm of the trebuchet amplifies this force.
As far as i know there are three: the basic catapult, trebuchet, and the floating arm trebuchet.
A trebuchet is defined as a machine used in medieval siege warfare for hurling large stones or other missiles. The first trebuchet was invented by the Chinese in the 4th century BC.
