So....
Anyone have stocked up on siege weapons?
I think drones are the new siege weapons.
Billionaires: *build moats and walls around their homes*
The eventual uprising:
Nothing will replace a good mortar or howitzer. I'm not even joking, you can disrupt a drone but the 20mm HE mortar shell? No so much.
I saw some really neat YouTube videos about trebuchet. They don't seem that complex.
Local High school kids build them for a graded project around where i live, so not very difficult for an adult to handle.
Been meaning to find an excuse to engineer a trebuchet.
Forget siege weapons, just a shovel and jackhammer.
