THE CATAPULT

                                                                       

                                                                           

Taking a look at the catapult, please note the model i have shown is not recommended due to to the nature of it's cheap material which can indeed be dangerous in itself should it break, it was purchased to try the method and not to pursue continued use, if you intend to pursue this idea i strongly advise spending more on a purchase.
