What is that behind the machine looks like a bow???

[@greensoplenty6809]

whoa i tohught it was in a museum i bet that took like 200 hours even though your obviously experienced. i built one out of trimming stuff from home depo for like 40 bucks but i wanted it to look like that but i dont have the skill or money or time wanted it to be cheap too, mine works well though, jsut need a medal axel wooden one bends over time i think.
mine looks cooler when it fires ;) its like 20 inches tall...think if you made the arm longer and the weight farther back,further from axel, it would swing more realistic.
bow doesnt really work does it? never understood how supposed to attach that. er jsut needs alot of weight to work maybe.

What do the curved beans at the rear end do?

[@e.palmer4297]

im just guessing but I think it has something to do with countering the force of the counterweight once the projectile is launched.

[@LutzDerLurch]

But how, by what means? :/

[@e.palmer4297]

LutzDerLurch my guess is it digs into the ground putting force in the opposite direction of the initial force

?
