What is the effective range of a catapult?

The effective range of a catapult varies depending on its design and the type of projectile used, but it typically ranges from about 300 to 1,000 feet (approximately 90 to 300 meters). Traditional medieval catapults, such as the trebuchet, could achieve longer ranges due to their counterweight systems. However, the accuracy diminishes at greater distances, making it more effective for shorter ranges in practical scenariOS. Overall, the specific range can also be influenced by factors like projectile weight and launch angle.
