Waging War da Vinci-style Leonardo da Vinci’s idea was to build
a very powerful machine, which could throw eight large
projectiles at the same time. He positioned eight long arms in a
circle around a central pin, each of which had a sling capable
of throwing a projectile attached to it. This kind of project,
where weapons were developed to hurl multiple projectiles to be
more powerful, was common in Da Vinci’s time, because doing this
meant creating more powerful weapons, simply by increasing their
number and power, without the need to develop new building
techniques and using familiar materials. They were therefore
potentially attractive weapons because they were powerful, but
they were also relatively inexpensive. The invention that
inspired this snap-together replica is taken from the pages of
da Vinci’s priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks. The manual is
very educational and teaches how this invention evolved over
time. No batteries needed. Assembly required. Once assembled,
measures approximately 9" wid
