Where an bow could fire an arrow that could cause a single casualty, the projectiles of catapults could be destructive on a larger scale. Some catapults of the ballista type, which threw gigantic arrows, were used early in the middle ages, before castles were made with thick stone outer walls, and they could penetrate the wooden palisades and doors of early castles.
