You know, I've never actually built a weapon of MASS distruction..... I have, to date, helped or advised how to build the following:
One giant slingshot from the roof of a dorm, using surgical tubing Two trebuchets, from which we shot TP, water balloons and stuffed animals as well as tennis balls A small cannon (my first!) made from metal pipe, a garbage-can lid and firecrackers, cracked open with the gunpowder extracted A larger cannon which shot tennis-balls only A LARGER cannon which shot TP, occasionally on fire A miniature grape-shooting catapult, for tabletop use (can also shoot cubes of cheese. Much fun at past SCA events) Two leather slings for throwing tennis-balls
...and probably other stuff. But I've never built any weapons of mass distruction. Might be fun! How large is 'mass'? Would more than three persons count?
Hmmmmmmmm..... **considers again**
