Depending on the era, a number of large weapons - considered to be early day aof artillery have been used which 'fire' projectiles through the air by way using a large counterweight which is heavier that the projectile to propel it through the air. An example of such a weapon is the catapult. Other weapons which projected large objects through the air were trebuchets, but these were operated by a spring mechanism, often made with rope and animal sinews. Such weapons were used from the earliest campaigns of the Greek and Roman empires to late medieval conflicts.
Early cannons also fired stones through the air in much the same wy as cannons used in the American Civil Wars and Scottish Wars of Independance however round stones were used before production methods for cannonball had been invented.
