== Description ==

A '''small catapult''' is a [[war machines|war machine]] used to launch ammunition at walls, fences, bridges, and other targets.

== Usage ==

* A catapult's primary use is the destruction of walls and gates. It can hit another player or animal, but this is very difficult.
* A catapult needs 21.0 [[body strength]] to use.
* It can be dragged, but only by players, not by animals.
* Cannot be operated with furniture or other large objects within 1 tile of it.
* Cannot be operated if the tile it stands on is below water level or inside a cave.
* Can be loaded into larger ships like the [[knarr]] or [[cog]].
* A [[spyglass]] is an excellent tool for measuring distance when winching.

=== Loading and firing ===

* First load it with ammunition. Almost everything can be fired, but [[stone shards]] and [[ore]]s do the most damage.
* [[Quality]] and [[damage]] of the ammunition affect the amount of damage done to the target.
* To load a catapult, activate an item in your inventory, right-click the catapult, and select ''Machine'' > ''Load''.
* After loading the catapult, it must be winched. With every winch, the catapult shoots 1 tile further.
* The minimum distance a catapult can shoot is 3 tiles, which is 10 winches.
* The maximum distance a catapult can shoot is 50 tiles.
* To winch a catapult, right-click the catapult after it has been loaded and select ''Winch''.
* This distance is calculated including both the tiles that the catapult and the target are standing on.
* To aim the catapult, drag it so that it points toward the target.
* The firing angle can be changed for more precise aiming. By default, the firing angle is 45 degrees and can be changed to between 5 and 85 degrees.
* When the catapult has been winched at least 10 times, it can be fired by right-clicking the catapult and selecting ''Machine'' > ''Fire''.
* If it was properly aimed and winched, the event window will show either that the shot missed the target or a list of everything it hits. If it says that nothing was hit, the aim is off.

=== Damage and trajectory ===

* A catapult's trajectory is affected by elevation. Firing uphill requires more winching to hit the target, while firing downhill requires less winching.
* Action timer for winching is affected by skill.
* Any item launched with the catapult will be either heavily damaged or destroyed. Any item that is not destroyed will be at the target tile.
* Starting power is determined by the number of winches. Power is directly related to starting velocity, for example, 20 winches is 20 m/s.
* Anything within a small radius of the landing position will take damage. The size of the radius is determined by the size of the thrown projectile.
* A catapult's projectile arc is checked for any walls, floors, bridges, or fences it hits. Otherwise, it travels a full arc until it hits the ground.
* Weight, quality, and final velocity all add to how much damage it deals to objects it lands on. Metal and stone do the most damage.
* Catapults can fire over buildings and walls.
* Catapults cannot hit [[guard tower]]s or damage mine doors.
* You can do a maximum of 20 damage to your target in one successful hit.
* Catapults seem to be able to damage bridges. Four [[stone shards]] did 8.0374664 damage on a bridge of QL 48.90988.
* Combine ammunition into 80 kg shards in order to maximize damage.

=== Ammunition ===

{| class="wikitable"
! width=100 | Item
! Notes
|-
| [[Stone shards]] || Combined stone shards will do more damage.
|-
| [[Stone brick]] || Less damage than stone shards.
|-
| [[Ore]] || Frequently used during raids, as it cannot be used by the enemy to repair walls and is nearly worthless after being shot.
|-
| [[Corpse]] || Deals moderate damage and can be useful when other ammunition types are unavailable.
