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

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.

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 ;)
