I think 3 - 5 bolts per minute is a low estimate. With some hours of scorpio drill over 2 days and a few adjustments on the weapon we (http://legio8augusta.de) managed a record of 12 bolts fired in 60 secs with a 3 man crew :-) You can see the scorpio we used in testing at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics here: http://www.planet-schule.de/sf/php/02_sen01.php?sendung=8624 (jump to minute 11:00, in German) Artillery Test on Harzhorn Battlefield (235 AD) - Simplex - 01-03-2014 Great ! One of the nice feats (amongst others, of course :wink: ) of this neat little Forum is having a number of "first row"-Folks aboard. Like here. High-speed dynamics at its best, as far as this Forum is concerned. Greez & Thanks Siggi Artillery Test on Harzhorn Battlefield (235 AD) - Simplex - 07-07-2014 They've done it again : This time near Straubing (Sorviodurum) Pics (lotsa!) here: http://www.idowa.de/home/artikel/2014/07/06/barbaren-im-anmarsch-feuer-frei/736065.html Organized by the Gäubodenmuseum (Dr. Moosbauer) , Uni Trier and Uni Osnabrück participating. (Seeemed to have been some sort of Kolloquium there) Greez Simplex As the Bundeswehr Uni Hamburg was present there , too, I'd guess this was an encore to the event mentioned above #348924 Upsized pic : http://idwf.eu/de/image188301?id=188301&display_lang=de_DE Artillery Test on Harzhorn Battlefield (235 AD) - Simplex - 07-22-2014 Since the link from Post 345904 seems to be gone for good, I'd suggest that one: http://www.swr.de/blog/diedurchblicker/2014/07/21/roemische-feldgeschuetze/ and that one http://www.swr.de/blog/diedurchblicker/karte/?center_lat=49.8591156¢er_lng=6.7641292&zoom=10 and http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=40642 All seems to be a "souped-up" version of last years' event rather than s.th. really new, though. Nevertheless: Get yoselves entertained. 8+) Greez Simplex Artillery Test on Harzhorn Battlefield (235 AD) - Simplex - 04-08-2015 ...a "roundup" of the press about the "artillery-tests" can be found here: https://www.uni-trier.de/fileadmin/fb3/prof/GES/AG1/Pressespiegel_Gesch%C3%BCtz.pdf ...mostly in German ....but in 89pages expect to see a lot of pics !

True? Quote:Auch bei Dauerregen sind die Geschütze, anders als in antiken Schilderungen behauptet, einsatzbereit und funktionieren. Das haben die Tests in Trier gezeigt.
