    I wouldn’t go for this. Even in Victorian times, the catapult was outdated technology.

    Now, then, if it were a trebuchet, then you’d really see how far that baby could go.

      If it were a trebuchet, you could put 30 average newborn babies in a sack and launch them 300 meters

    Its fake. The structural integrity seems too weak to handle that kind of tension. Maybe a few feet forward but 35 isn’t possible with that pathetic joints. Also not even a crank to pull it back in? Shit design, 2/10.

    I could easily just throw a baby over 35 feet.
