Well, they still use torsion springs, but the way they function is very different. Aitor's article doesn't talk about scorpions/catapultae, but it is still very interesting. Many of us agree with his suggestion that no matter if they threw stones or arrows, ballista arms swung inwards. There as many or more who disagree. I doubt either side will ever entirely convince the other. :wink:

Thanks for all boys. I really appreciate this advices.
But i have still 2 unanswered questions:
1. How to make a cord for catapulta? - this i have half answered, i think how i will make it.
2. How to make arrow (what kind of wood, when colloct it, what arrowhead, what type of feather, and how to make from those things a good arrow)?
Thanks.
