Roman Ballista Plans
Build a Working Model Ballista with these easy to follow Ballista Plans and Instructions. Once complete, this Stone Throwing Ballista is 2 feet long and will throw a scale projectile up to 90 feet.
Professional Design
Professionally engineered, this Roman Ballista design allows you to vary the elevation and bow strength for range and trajectory adjustment. Fire with a soft projectile for indoor use, or a solid one for long range outdoors.
Great Project
Resembling a crossbow, the ballista derives its power from skeins of twisted cord, just like a catapult. The Stone Throwing Ballista is perfect for demonstrating ancient Roman warfare and technology as well as the physics of torsion, ballistics and projectile motion. Ballistas make great science and history projects.
