Aaron i know this has nothing to do with spud guns but i thought i would ask you being how you a goddam genious. It has to be around a meter long or smaller and i was woundering if you could think somthing up. This should be no sweat compared to all the other cool stuff you built. Thanks alot! EVERYONE WRITE BACK ASAP!!!!!!!!
That's a hell of a question. I honestly know very little about catapults. I had a minor role helping a neighbour building a trebughet (which I can't spell). You can probably dig up some plans searching the Net, or looking in Midieval weapons books? Perhaps someone else knows?

A friend of mine once built a very simple catapult using 2 sections of a 2x4, a spring loaded hinge for a self closing door and a tuna fish can for the projectile holder. I'll try to contact him for the plans
I had some plans for a catapult (trebughet-french talk!!) for it you'll need 2x2's, 2x4's a coffee can a piece of pvc pipe 2 bungee cords(liitle ones like those used to hold down tarps)
I don't rember all the detail ( I'll email when I remeber).What i do know ist used a base that looked like the roman numeral 2 .
How can i make a catapult?
