My neighbor has a catapult. We spent some time over at his farm today firing jack-o-lanterns at a target across the field. It was fairly amazing.
I took this photo of a pumpkin flying out of the catapult. It flew quite a distance before smashing into oblivion. The kids loved it. So did I.

That looks like a blast! I had a buddy who manufactured a “spud gun”. That added the joy of an accelerate to the mix. So you had an explosion and a splattering potatoe. (Dan Quayle spelling for your amusement)
