okay /sci/ What is the difference between a Roman Catapult and a Roman Onager? from what I've researched, an Onager is a form of Catapult so I'm quite confused. In return, the nipple of Olivia Munn

>>	EK !EKFQOBUFnQ Mon Dec 5 16:09:43 2011 No.4104872 the onager uses torsional pressure from a twisted rope, to store energy for the shot. a normal catapult just uses direct linear tension as elastic potential energy for the shot. slight difference.

Wiki says:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onager_(siege_weapon)
>The Onager is a type of catapult that uses torsional pressure, generally from twisted rope, to store energy for the shot.

You said:
>the onager uses torsional pressure from a twisted rope, to store energy for the shot.

You even left in the comma, even though it's useless in your butchered version of the sentence. Lie harder.

Oh, and take your pills.

oh right.
got access to any willow-wood?
make the 'neck' of the catapult out of willow (nice and springy), and have some very stretchy string connected to the top of it which is attached to a crank.
twist the crank to maximum stretchyness, and then just cut the string with scissors when you are ready to fire. (its only a model, fuck realistivity)
will definiteky just be a catapult, and is neitehr anager nor trebuchet.
problem, judges?
there shouldn't be
