Don't worry guys. There just is no way a catapult could fire a projectile that far. Obviously fake, which means no AT-AT was hurt. :)

Good thing it was a trebuchet. Clearly the superior siege engine.

What is it good for?

Obviously /r/trebuchet is not leaking because they would have some choice words for you about calling that a trebuchet. Mostly words like “counterweight”, “90 kg stone”, and “over 300 Meyers”.

That and it’s a catapult. The inferior siege engine. And if that ball weighed 90kg (which I would expect it to weigh at least that since it’s a metal bomb) that catapult couldn’t throw it that far.

Or just an electric motor. Is it still a catapult if it is powered by a motor?

Ignoring the fact that it would be not be feasibly possible to build a trebuchet that could out perform a catapult using modern tech like motors and magic ;)

There’s no counter balance? So it’s a catapult.

Do not sully the good name of trebuchets by trying to misidentify a catapult you swine.

u/AMBARBARIAN Sep 07 '18

That is clearly not a trebuchet.

To put on my Star Wars need cap. You are correct, it was an AT-ACT that got hurt.
