I don't know who owns this trebuchet, but isn't it something? Another view of the same weapon. It is missing the sling that it would need to pick up ammunition; it may have been removed to keep people from throwing things when the owner is gone. The rope visible is the draw rope to pull down the throwing arm. The indented wooden objects leaning against it are hoardings used to shield the crew from arrows. This picture came from the Gulf War web site.
