I'll be honest here I didn't expect results like these, well done fellas, keep up the good work. :D

AND, does anyone know why they are called catapults?

The name is the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek katapeltes, from kata -downwards, into, against and pallo - to poise or sway a missile before it is thrown.

Wikipedias version:
A catapult is any one of a number of non-handheld mechanical devices used to throw a projectile a great distance without the aid of an explosive substance—particularly various types of ancient and medieval siege engines.

The name is the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek êáôáðÝëôçò - katapeltes, from êáôÜ - kata (downwards, into, against) and ðÜëëù - pallo (to poise or sway a missile before it is thrown).[1] The catapult appears to have been invented in 399 BC in the city of Syracuse during the reign of the tyrant Dionysius I[2]. Originally, "catapult" referred to a dart-thrower, while "ballista" referred to a stone-thrower, but the two terms swapped meaning sometime in the fourth century AD


Shouldn't this be the slingshot section? :blink:
