    We have battled the Weather and assorts but we fired it till it broke haha, fires a good 250m+ every time but we can add more weight once fixed and get more power with some fine tuning. CAN we Ever fire the CAR???? Thanks again to Xbox Game Pass for PC for sponsoring this video!

    Actually Colin, they were as inaccurate 'back then' as they are now. The builders were just as embarrased when they missed things and, because it so often upset the king so much that he'd have the operator's head chopped orf, they decided it would be safer (for them) if they aimed at larger targets. Such as castles...
    That's the real reason why they became known as a siege weapon, purely because it allowed those charged with aiming them living longer because they didn't miss their target.

      @Pecuniarly 3 роки тому +13

      You are correct that the sling does not rotate fast enough around the arm: on 1:23 you see that the release pin is angled down a bit while normally it should angle up a bit there, so it releases much earlier, which means the sling does not rotate fast enough around the arm. However, the line should be about as long as the long throwing arm (from turning axel to release end) in a good trebuchet, so I expect that they should go for a lighter projectile / heavier counterweight.
