When we first spotted this Stirling Warwolf Trebuchet outfit , we thought our dreaming had come true . At last we could defeat our neighbor , if not in a landscaping - off , at least in an quondam fashioned , strictly American weapon system raceway . But then we saw the all - too - sane price of $ 189 . And we knew this ballista was only jolly awing and belike would n’t help us shoot down the neighborhood any time presently .
At 1/20th scale , this historical reproduction trebuchet is built ( by you ) from about 140 pieces and stands 18 inches marvellous with an arm that reaches 32 inches at peak . Launching box projectiles 40 to 60 feet , we realise that peradventure a actual trebuchet would have been overkill for our purposes . And this Warwolf may provide just enough putting to death . We ’ll keep you apprised on the ensuing state of war . [ productviagizmowatch ]
