How to Make a Desktop Viking Catapult (with a bonus wargame to play).

Step 3 The Firing Mechanism.

The ideal ammunition carrier is a shallow bowl or pouch.

You can use a small plastic pot, such as a trimmed-down film cannister, or use a small plastic funnel.

Drill three holes in the edge of the carrier, 120^o apart (that is, spread evenly around the edge of the pot).

Fasten an elastic band to each hole with a Lark's Head hitch, then tie the other end of each band to the middles of the skewers that make up the frame. You could even use a round-turn and two half-hitches, but if your bands are short, you can just hook them behind and around the ends of the side-braces.
