1-01 EWA Collectible mechanical ballista wood model

Additional Information

the Military model is based on a formidable throwing machine, actively used by the troops of the Roman Empire. Unlike catapults, the ballista launches shells not on the decking, but on the hinged (ballistic) trajectory, with a large elevation angle. 

a Massive, complex stationary ballista could throw stones or canister from the nuclei with a total mass of 1-3 talents (26-78 kg), destroying the tops of towers and fortresses, destroying the people hiding behind the walls. The power of the mobile field ballista, which became the prototype for BallistaEWA, is more modest, but such a tool inspired the enemies with fear and awe. 

eco-Friendly model of wood is unable to terrible destruction, but otherwise is not inferior to the ancient original – the wheels of the chassis rotate, the throwing lever is cocked, the projectile flies at a decent speed. Besides, you can build it with his own hands, charging a small lightweight items and make a realistic military demonstrations, by sending improvised "core" up and into the distance.
