This 3d model is low-poly and optimized for fast rendering. It features real-world scale accuracy to the millimetre. The ballista was an ancient machine gun that fired heavy projectiles over long distances with great force. Its earliest known mention can be found in King Uzziah's account of his military innovations, which included towers and battlements equipped with ingenious devices for launching arrows and large stones into enemy fortresses. He used cunning men to develop these technologies, and as a result, he expanded his kingdom and established himself as a strong leader through conquest. Built on the designs of earlier Greek engineers, the ballista utilized torsion springs made from twisted skeins, providing more power and accuracy than tension-based machines like the bowstring. It was initially designed for siege warfare, where it hurled heavy darts or stones of various sizes at fortifications. Later, it evolved into a smaller, precision-designed model called the scorpio and possibly the polybolos.
