Technokit Ballista

Technokit Ballista - Build a real working model of this awesome Medieval war machine

Build a working replica of the infamous Roman Ballista, the fore-runner of the crossbow.

See how force is created by tensioning tendons (string) to fire missiles over long distances. This weapon was used extremely effectively in the Roman invasion of Britain to repel the Celtic hordes and over-run their hill forts.

All pieces are pre cut and drilled for you to assemble - comes complete with ammunition !!
