Firing the Nemesis Ballista

Here is a video showing a roman ballista in action. The operator fires a total of four shots. And he does it at 1/3rd power on the ballista.

I have pictures of this ballista right here and I also show you some of the major parts.

I also have lots of pictures of this ballista with labels showing the various parts right here

Some of the things that the operator says.

It will hit you with a ton of force.
If you were holding onto a shield and the ballista bolt hit the shield it would rip your arm clean off the socket.
On full power it would go right through a shield and keep on carrying on.
Years ago they tested in on three mock bodies that the Army has, simulated human flesh. The bolt passed through all three and kept on going.
It is normally a three man unit that operates the ballista. And they can get it down to a speed of firing ten bolts a minute.
