A falling weight just out-threw the human arm. No fire. No explosives. Just gravity, a counterweight, and one very long swing.

Transcript
00:00What if one falling weight could throw a stone farther than any human arm managed?
00:04The trebuchet does it with gravity alone, nothing rigged, nothing burnt here.
00:10A heavy counterweight drops straight down, and a long wooden arm swings upward fast.
00:15That swing runs through a sling, which finally lets go of the stone in one smooth arc.
00:21No blast, no flame, just a falling weight quietly turning itself into raw distance.
00:27Gravity does the throwing here, patient, and impossible to stop once it starts.
