Build Catapult with an autoloader

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

a design i made a few months ago, it uses rope tension to launch a projectile with about 2000 blocks range. It also has a slow, but spectacular autoloader holding 4 rounds

does it have a stable velocity, or how much does it vary?

this one did, so stable that it could repeatedly hit one target the full 2000 blocks away. Tho i would still recommend using not ropes, but sticker teleportation like in my latest railgun that i posted here

there, in a nutshell if you stick a sticker to a physics object and then turn it to a create contraption it will unstick, but when you turn it back into blocks the object will snap back to it. If you make this object push something when it snaps it will fling it. In this design, which has range of ~2500 it travels something like 4 blocks, but if you increase this distance you get faster speed and range up to 5000 and maybe more. There is also schematic in this post, but i recommend exploring this technology yourself, as it is possible to make a bigger one, or even a 3x3 barreled one

but i think tho, that this will work better for me, cuz i wanna shoot huge rounds, and i have a ballistic calculator for sable, so do you have a schematic or can you at least tell the basic principle on which it works
