Back in medieval times, ballistas were used as both an offending and protective tool for some of the best armies on the planet. Ballistas are essentially very large crossbows that get their shooting power from built-up stress. Much like a crossbow, a ballista uses stress from a string or rope that's drawn back to provide power to arrows. This was an efficient way of doing battle early on because ballista towers can shooting much larger projectiles at a much faster speed than could be finished with a regular bow.
