| Above is a model of an ancient Ballista and the bolts that it fired. The two arms attached to the "Bow String" are powered by skiens of fiber made up from horse hair and silk. The skiens are twisted as the bowstring is moved back and the trigger releases the bolt. This model projected a bolt about 35 feet. |
