Catapults come in many sizes and powers, from the simple rubber and wood toy made by little boys, with a range of 10-20 yards to the giant trebuchets used in medieval siege warfare, capable of throwing large rocks up to half a mile.
See: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=06P_RNGP8LU for a Trebuchet in action.
The definition of a catapult might be a device that uses stored energy to propel a projectile, so that a bow is a species of catapult, but a gun isn't.
a good name or title for an essay about catapults could be ''catapult'' LMAOO
roman catapults could throw six pound objects almost a thrid of a mile.
A trebuchet is essentially a slingshot powered by gravity. A cannon is essentially a high tech airgun (pressure provided by gunpowder)

It depends on several factors, but in general, the bullet from a handgun can travel a mile or more if fired at an upward angle. As far as accurate shooting, it widely depends. The typical defensive handgun is accurate out to maybe 50 yards (but there are exceptions), but some guns are target models and are accurate further than that.
boulders probably
shoot it at angry kids to calm them down.
Yes he did as far as i know and catapults have been being used from 400BC-Now so if he was in that time period then YES
Not necessarily. While larger catapults can typically launch objects farther due to increased power and leverage, smaller catapults with an efficient design can still achieve considerable distance. Factors such as the force applied, angle of launch, and object being launched also play a role in determining how far a catapult can throw.
some shoot far and some dont so they all dont shoot the same length
In Ancient Rome the catapults shot large rocks,TNT,and heads of dead men.
Very far
In the 14th century Catapults were used by Chinese, Greeks and Romans. They were used to through boulders and other things into cities and castles. Catapults were used so that people could attack enemies from far away.

Type of action has nothing to do with how far a weapon will shoot. Caliber and load is what matters.
