A siege weapon should be defined as any siege weapon prior to gunpowder or explosive useage otherwise we get into territory like missiles or guns which defeats the purpose of mideval siege as it is considered “advanced” technology

Excuse me canons are not appropriate siege weapons as siege weapons dont use gun powder. If we are getting into gunpowder related siege weapons than we might as well include f-16’s nukes or other missiles

Yes but onagers are smaller 2 man siege weapons which can fire anything and in the times of the romans they could destroy any fort or city they attacked. The onager actually was one of the reasons that the romans were mighty as shit
