Anyone looking to assault a castle or embark on a seige? A gen-u-ine Roman Catapult replica is now available for your barbaric needs.
Ammo not included.
Even though it says it can't be fired again, it would make one hell of a lawn ornament!

Q: I have been contemplating a career change of late. Would you be so kind as to advise the current market demand in your region for freelance ballisters? I have no direct experience in siege warfare, though my corporate position has left me quite competent in the areas of windmill tilting, entrenched thinking and provided a deeply seated bunker mentality; traits I should think translate well to a budding siege entrepreneur. 01-Oct-08
A: It sounds as though you’re quite well qualified for a position as a full time ballista rooky but unlikely to make the heady ranks of stone loader or pin puller. I hope you’ll understand that we are currently inundated with applications but if you would like to put together a CV we will do our best to look at it. Bear in mind that a well scribed document on the best available parchment is likely to work in your favour.
LOL
I'm always curious, what were you looking for that put you onto a hugass Roman bow & arrow in England no less?
Christmas decorating season is quickly approaching. I've been looking for something to accompany my glowing 20 foot inflatable Santa.
It would sure make getting the sleigh and reindeer decorations up on the roof easier.
yup...
All kinds of uses and not at all limited to the holiday season.
Humphf. "punkin chunkin"
Lawn ornament... we USE ours!
I don't know why this made me think of it, but I was in a TSD rally last weekend, and we drove by a house with it's garage door open, and inside was a full sized Civil War era replica Cannon. My co-driver and I just cracked up laughing.
Trebuchet > catapult.
