HOW IN ANYWAY IS THIS IMPOSSIBLE?
-
For smart people you would think they would know the difference from a catapult and a Batista
-
dude a friggin high schooler can build a roman catapult AND a ballista. My friend can do it.....and HE DID..... \he showed me it when i went over to his house
-
@TheMongoPKer definetely-a lot more advance physically than roman iron
-
@minxel16 And I'm pretty sure the romans actually used sinew.
-
you know sinew would actually be more beneficial since it is stronger than steel for mass
-
Building the impossible...
Yes...Indeed, it is really impossible that the Romans would use their weapons for polyester ... The Kevlar armor when built? Please, if you can not build it, go ahead and be honest ... at least with yourself. Otherwise one day you want ... ricostruireuna pyramid using a Caterpillar to bring the stone blocks.

Polyester??? WTF!!! Romans has not such materials. If U want to build a Roman Ballista (NOT a fudgin'CATAPULT) U have to use what They used... Everybody is capable to build an ancient war machine with actual stuff... Looooosers...

In the video one guy of the team
sayd that he found a "document" where he read that the weapon could fire 120 meters and not 400 as Vitruvious says.
I think it's bull shit, it's only a pretext because they aren't able to fire it more than 90 meters without breaking it.
It's impossible that during the siege of jerusalem this ballista was stationed within 120 meters from the walls of the city.
It would be a favourite target for the jews
archers. What do you think about this??

OMGGGGG that is NOT a catapult.. it a ballista!, and the smaller one's are calld scorpions.. But certanly not a catapult. And it's originally greek (400 b.C.), and the romans stole the idea, and improved it.
