Try Mangonel, although it is pretty stubby. Adam Bishop 18:56, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC)

This page could use some additions. The arbalest, for example.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.1.106.100 (talk • contribs)

The article seems pretty stubby. HistoryManiac 14:21, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

The arbalest is no siege engine, but soon some wonderful Chinese siege engines will come + images Wandalstouring 11:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits by Tamrhind

I reverted the edits for a number of reasons. One was some of the edits came straight from the worldnet site. Others had no cite in them. --statsone 05:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intro line

The intro line to this page is wrong. Only some siege engines were made for breaking or overcoming walls. The most popular forms (mangonel, onager, ballista, etc) were used as to kill enemies, not fortifications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.105.83 (talk) 17:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
