A Catapult on the Mexico Border Was Used to Hurl Drugs Into U.S.
Federal officials have dismantled a catapult attached to a fence on the Mexico border that was being used to hurl drugs into America.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday that the ancient military device was used to fling at least two bundles of marijuana from Mexico into the U.S. last week.
The agency said in a statement that it has seized the drugs, which weighed about 50 pounds combined. Mexican authorities took the disassembled catapult.
And they say we don't need a wall.
I think the forum deserves Monte's analysis as to the efficacy of this device.

Dumbass Mexicans. They could have launched 4x as much, twice as far behind the wall.
90kg = 198lb of weed.

It seems that Mexico has discovered Medieval-era technology as well, the bastards...
The wall needs parapets!!

There's a very simple mathematical equation to explain this...

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

wouldn't a drone be even more effective?
It's smaller than a trebuchet, easier to transport, and they have longer range.
Modern technology is a huge threat to the artillery oriented drug smuggling workers.
