Latin/Roman Name for our type of Artillery Unit

[kevair464]

Thanks for all the help everyone. I've been busy and haven't been able to post any replys lately. We have test fired the unit about 10 times now to full tension and it works very well. I to am concerned about the splitting, we had some cracks develop during the initial tightening of the rope spliens, we filled in the cracks with a very strong industrial epoxy and nailed on some metal stripping running across the head pieces to help with the tension. After the test firings we inspected the head unit and the wood is holding great, no scary sounds either after the first time and it shoots a small bolt about 350 feet.

This will mostly be a display piece, we will fire it at events that permit its use, but most school and other displays are far to crowded to actually fire it. The tension arms are made from ash, so these are plenty strong. The head wood pieces are nailed and glued together. Hopefully it wont split, and we have that under control at the moment, knock on wood.
