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.
