Trebuchet |
: |
Medieval Siege Weapon capable of Hurling 300lb boulders at Castle walls 200-300 yards away. There are two basic type of trebuchet: The Counterweight Trebuchet & Traction or Man Powered Trebuchet. |
|
Trebing |
: |
The act of designing, building, or firing trebuchets. In fact any Trebuchet related behavior can be called Trebing |
| Dry Fire | : |
This is BAD! This is when your Trebuchet fires without a projectile. The force generated by your counterweight without any resistance provided by the projectile causes an unpredictable and violent reaction. If you feel the need to witness this yourself DON’T. If you plan on ignoring my warning use a small scale Trebuchet. This is VERY DANGEROUS |
