Went to the hardware store to get metal bracing for the bucket. They told me that they didn’t have trebuchet supplies… And retailers are wondering why everyone buys online!
I would totally build it and would siege the next big City. But they are lucky that all is in babaric-units and not metric, and I do not have a measuring tape in inch, so I guess the city is save. For now.
5/16, 11/16, 7 1/8, 1 5/8 … and how did they calculated the weight for the bucket? Three Hogs to a Mule? Crazy.
I don’t see a weight for the bucket. I’m no trebuchet expert, but I’d assume you’d want to adjust that for your particular target each time you take your trebuchet out.
Hurl the first boulder then add or remove rocks from the bucket depending on if you over or under shot it.
Perhaps it’s for the best it’s in Imperial units, that’ll save most of Europe’s historic castles.
The superior siege engine, measured in inferior units.
Just shameful.
