Evolution of a one of a kind, spring powered catapult prototype into the fastest catapult in the world. It's on the verge of being the first mechanical catapult in history to break the sound barrier.

    Welcome back. Here's my newest catapult. It was formerly known as ACME Catapult. I bought it. It's huge and powerful. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Aa5tPyRG\_9U

    It's more of an obsession. I'm a designer/ builder, and own a construction company.

    Well, actually it can. Most of my machines can, but not with 300 kilo projectiles.

    Some of them can throw 500 meters.

    What is the weight of the projectile it's throwing cuz I may be able to throw a football over the entire football field but I wouldn't be able to throw a car 5 feet

    They all have their own range of projectile weights. I'm throwing 3 gram 12mm marbles with this one. It can throw golf balls over 200 meters though.
