    I made my own catapult out of wood, rubber bands and nails.

    It's around 2 ft. tall and hurls a 9mm bullet around 80 ft.

    Now this story is an illustrious peice in my family history...

    My family was sitting on a beach and i decided to make a ballista. so I picked up a stone to see wether it was a good one and threw it. It bounced off my mum's leg, hit my dad's head and fell into the sea.
