[23:46] <walt> http://198.144.2.125/Siege/OtherSiegeEngines/Full/OnagerPic.jpg
[23:47] <mattL> interesting!
[23:48] <[3j]> just a thought..
[23:48] <[3j]> but arent trebuchets better?
[23:48] <[3j]> using a counter weight instead of pulling ropes
[23:49] <walt> yep
[23:49] <walt> longer range, heavier projectile
[23:49] <[3j]> i saw them on the history channel the other night :)
[23:49] <[3j]> right
[23:49] <[3j]> but it also looks easier to build
[23:50] <walt> After this onager Im going to build a trebuchet
[23:50] <[3j]> not sure how it can work to make a 1ft by 8" one though
[23:50] <[3j]> hehe
[23:50] <[3j]> after the trebuchet? try to cast iron and make some cannons?
[23:50] <[3j]> 100 little foot long cannons
[23:51] <[3j]> simul trigger too
[23:51] <walt> http://trebuchet.com/
[23:51] <[3j]> long loading time, but what an effect
[23:51] <[3j]> wow!
[23:51] <walt> I just found some trigger info there
[23:51] <[3j]> cool site
