Many years ago, a friend of mine announced that he was building a trebuchet, sized to launch cabbage, to our next campout. It never happened, despite his many protestations that it would be started soon. Now we keep a tally of how many siege weapons the rest of the group have built while the promised trebuchet remains absent. Last count was three mini trebuchets of various materials and a mini-marshmallow-sized catapult of wood and rope.
If you need to mount it on a tripod, just to fire it, it's a ballista. If your first thought when trying to transport it is, "Gosh, this would be so much easier to move if only it had wheels and a trailer hitch on it" you might have a Ballista.
I see this decending into Jeff Foxworthy territory very, very rapidly.
