Anyone knows the name of those 40+ Foot sling things that they use to launch Pumpkins? Im Looking to build a small scale one that will be about a 1 foot model and trying to get a range of about 10+ feet by launching a small IC chip. They look like catapults but i think they have a diffrent name and a diffrent way of firing.

Perhaps you are refering to a trebuchet? I've seen a few them on TV that throw cars across fields.
