    Excuse me, the meme very clearly specifies it is a form of ballista since it works off of bent spring power

      The meme is fucking wrong.

      Catapults and ballistas are different, not because of how they store the energy, but how the throw the projectile. A catapult throws it off a holder and a ballista shoots in down a track.

      It’s a goddamn catapult. I will not tolerate factual inaccuracy for the sake of a funny meme.
