| A trebuchet is a medieval siege engine, a weapon employed either to smash masonry walls or to throw projectiles over them. It is sometimes called a "counterweight trebuchet" in order to distinguish it from an earlier weapon that has come to be called the "traction trebuchet." Sometimes the word trebuchet is used to refer ambiguously to either weapon, but originally it referred to the counterweighted weapon. All trebuchets were made from wood. |
When people say "trebuchet", I either think of the siege weapon I made out of Lego for my little Undead minifig army or the siege weapon in Age of Empires 2 that is the best when coupled with 30 longbowmen.
