Great quality, built and look

Well engineered and fun to play with. If you tie the thread a bit tight and put many rubber bands it becomes quite strong for arrows to travel far. Overall it was a good buy with beautiful packaging.

Brilliant!!

Incredibly cute, and the experience in fixing it up was quite worth it. Its functional, and on my table at work, brings in attention from my colleagues. The technical bits are well thought out too, and shooting the tiny arrows is a lot of fun.

Some evening enjoyment going ballista!

The Ballista kit was wonderful to build and fun to use in gaming! It was easy to follow the instructions and provided a nice evening of enjoyment. This kit is a double so building it with a family member or friend building the other is a plus. I also liked the bit of history of these weapons. Highly recommended!

DESCRIPTION:

The Ballista was the artillery of the ancient world. With the precision parts in this kit you too can build and operate working models of two ballistae. For target practice, a silhouette of a dragon has been provided for target practice, it can be knocked down and re-erected. This ballista features a slide-to-lock bowstring, a working trigger, and a rack to store ready-to-use projectiles. Torsion power is provided using a rubber band. The Ballista had its origins in ancient Greece and was the artillery of the ancient world. This siege engine was designed to hurl stones or spears over long distances, useful for attacking fortifications or enemy units at ranges greater than what could be achieved by regular archers. The ballista utilized the torsion power generated by twisted skeins to rapidly move lever arms that would hurl projectiles using a rope. The lever arms would be brought back into the battery by using a winch and ratchet. Ballistae varied in size from small man-portable devices to large immobile units that were built in situ.
