(Part 2) Best products from r/trebuchetmemes

Dude, I own this book. A catapult is nothing more than a ballistic device that is able to launch projectiles a long distance without the use of explosives. Hence why a trebuchet is a type of catapult. Just look at the title: "The Art of the Catapult: Build Greek Ballistae, Roman Onagers, English Trebuchets, and More Ancient Artillery"

So when people say "a trebuchet is better than a catapult" you're effectively saying "a catapult is better than a catapult," which... is odd.

Not sure about the wording of this question but, assuming the meter sticks are pine Wood with a weight of 530 kg/meter^3. We will also assume the size is one meter by 1"(2.54cm) by 1/4"(0.635cm). That gives us 161.29cm^3 per meter stick. Multipling that by 300 gets you 48387cm^3 or 0.048387m^3. So if one meter of pine is 530kg than 4.8387% of that is 25.6361kg.

Now for the distance, assuming you are using 90 1 kg weights and placing them on the longest side the length  is 4.9"( 12.446cm) per kg. 12.446cm times 90 equals 1,120.14cm or 11.2014 meters.

So yes a trebutchet can launch 300 meters (25.6361kg) over 90kg (11.2014m).

Here you go my man

Actually, Sandisk made 400GB microSD, so... 90PB of data !

The current definition only has one citation: The art of the catapult: build Greek ballista, Roman onagers, English trebuchets, and more ancient artillery by William Gurstelle (2004). If you find a different definition from another reliable source, I would strongly suggest that you go on the article's talk page and start a new discussion. Consensus can change, especially when backed by good references.

I had a quick look at various online dictionaries and found many different definitions, some of which are mentioning tension/torsion, others only talking about throwing stuff. The book cited also doesn't appear to be terribly authoritative to me, so I don't think it would require extraordinary efforts to change the definition.

You can of course be bold and edit the Catapult article directly, change the definition and include your (reliable) references. However, you'll need an account that is at least 4 days old and has more than 10 edits. Both the catapult and trebuchet articles are currently semi-protected because of frequent vandalism.

I would however recommend against this kind of unilateral change since this definition has been in use in the article for about 10 years. It doesn't mean that it is correct, but you will face resistance.

You should never hesitate to use an article's talk page to ask questions or propose changes, as long as you remember that they are not forums and should only be used to discuss the article's content.

Yo u/Trebu5het, perhaps you should bother doing the teensiest bit of research before planting your lips on Hunt Janins asshole and parroting his misinformed mouth leakage. https://www.amazon.com/Mercenaries-Medieval-Renaissance-Europe-Janin-ebook/dp/B00DWJCS42/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9781476612072&linkCode=qs&qid=1557437275&s=books&sr=1-1#customerReviews

>Certainly, the author knows how to put together a fairly good narrative, but despite its claim to be a scholarly study (notes and bibliography), this is not the case. This book does a disservice to scholarship and should also not be acquired by librarians at high or middle schools.

I used to own this game, and somehow lost it in the many times I moved. This game was the best, and I would highly recommend it to anyone - specifically this one: https://www.amazon.com/WEAPONS-WARRIORS-CASTLE-SIEGE-GAME/dp/B0080XR7BY. Don't waste time on the older ones, as they over complicate the game.

Set up your two castles, place your soldiers as you like, then load your little red cannon balls on whatever weapon you choose - trebuchet, canon or ballista! (I think there's one more but I can't remember). Then take turns firing at each other's castles. First team to eliminate all the enemy soldiers wins!

Edit: Dang it! They don't even make this game anymore, it's considered a collectible and you can only buy it online for over $100. What a shame. :(

You guys are rubbing off on me. I don't subscribe nor frequent this sub, but today, when my coworker called his new ball catapult a trebuchet, I got mildly angry. I had to point out that his little plastic toy would never come close to the threat of a real plastic siege device.
