Is that a dead horse under the weight? --Moose Hole 19:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- It certainly would seem so. That would be the intended projectile, and an unintended bonus of using this particular source image in my slapdash diagram. --James. 19:36, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't realize that was the projectile. I have a model trebuchet (about 1 foot length) and the sling is the length of L5, but the payload lies under the fulcrum since the sling is doubled over pre-firing. -- Moose Hole 19:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, again, this is only my assumption. Just as I assume that this diagram's illustrator had some understanding of perspective and as I assume that they would be humane enough in the dark ages to only use pre-dead ammunition in a time of war. --James. 20:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
