It's a trebuchet. Enough said. :)

Launch this trebuchet any way you want. Use string, a pin, or blunt force!

A medieval military siege engine for hurling heavy missiles.
This was the classic device for throwing rocks at an enemy; a big boys' catapult. It consisted of a long pivoted arm with a sling at one end and a heavy counterweight at the other.
