My thoughts exactly ! 8*> Have a friend who made a trebuchat type catapult as a hobby project . He wight want to start working on what is called a “Ballista “ a sort of giant crossbow that are capable of launching bowling balls hundreds of feet . Might it also be used to launch 5 gallon bucket sized molotov’s ?

That sounds pretty neat. Oven-roasted. Reminds me, too, of that German slingshot guy on Youtube.

Powder..patch..ball FIRE!

Trebuchat and ballista’s are a fire once and then loose it when the drone takes it out. If you can get it set up without IR detection.
