I've got a huge retaining wall made of interlocking bricks that would make excellent trebuchet ammo. Just one of these moving at 100 MPH would easy destroy a car.

Depending in the size of the trebuchet, we could launch several at a time for that whole "artillery barrage" sensation.

But, honestly, even if guns disappeared somehow, people would have enough problems just dealing with my arrows and sling-shot ball bearings. Should they get close enough for hand-to-hand combat, well, I hope they've been practicing...

Old, tried-and-true ideas, but with modern materials science, for the best of both worlds.

Well, since this is hypothetical since I don't have a trebuchet, I'm assuming it's safe to pick whatever I want. So my choice would be dildos and various other sex toys. I can only imagine the ones that weren't mortally wounded by a butt plug, vibrator or other implement would pause for a few moments. They would be so shocked and either die of laughter, or pause long enough contemplating why a vibrator is stuck in their ear it would give me time to make my escape.

I dunno. A sheep or a cow maybe? Like in that Monty Python and the Holy Grail picture.

AviatorTom · Answer

I'd aim the trebuchet directly at the guy's car and put a nice big hole in it.

One of my surfboards. Even if misses, as long as it's close enough they'll fight over it and forget all about me. Or hit the waves and share it and still forget about me.
