Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Build a working replica of the infamous Roman Ballista, the fore-runner of the crossbow. See how force is created by tensioning tendons (string) to fire heavy arrows over long distances. This weapon was used extremely effectively in the Roman invasion of Britain to repel the Celtic hordes and over-run their hill forts.

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
for my friend with a passion for all things historical and war based, this was a great gift.

lots of fun, simple to make and faithful to it's original design.
using the default projectile it's pretty safe too and will happily fire across the average lounge floor. just don't aim for the cat...
