A ballista is a medieval siege engine, which is using two spring or torsion powered levers to shoot arrows or stone balls. The Slingshot Channel presents a slingshot that used ballista levers (rubber powered) to accelerate a regular band set.

This adds about 20% more speed to the projectiles, a trememndous increase in power.

Slow motion scenes, recorded with a High Speed camera, show the mechanism in detail.
