[Prime Choice]

Two things:

1. It's not a catapult. It's a trebuchet.
2. If you think that trebuchet looks a marital aid, all I can say is that...well...you must not get out much.

Sakes...

[CAPTAIN PHOTON]

The classic trebuchet, the kind that could demolish castle walls, had a free swinging basket which served as a powerful, adjustable counterweight capable of hurling a 300 lb projectile several hundred yards... that thing couldn't chuck anything that big. Your catapult's been castrated...it has no basket. Ha!
