The Desktop Onager

Fiercely Fend Off Office Rivals

Conveniently sized to sit on your desk, this intimidating little machine is an actual working reproduction of an onager.

The weapon is all wood and twine with no metal parts, but it packs a big punch. Load it up with the included wooden balls or get creative with marshmallows, coffee creamers, erasers and more to see how many cubicles they can soar above before landing.

Properly constructed, the onager has a range from 10 to 20 feet. The ancients were able to use nothing but wood and ropes to build machines that could hurl heavy stones great distances, now you can do the same to enforce peace in your office or dorm room.

Build it yourself in under three hours, because this kit includes everything you need except for glue and a few simple tools like scissors, sandpaper, and a file. Colors may vary.

Warning: This is a representative model of a real ancient military weapon. Use only with competent adult supervision.

Reviewed By: Jason J. (Everett, WA)
I got this catapult kit for my 4 and 6 year old sons (okay, I really bought it for me). They love it! We've been firing mini-marshmallows indoors. It's very powerful, but the cool thing is that you can easily reduce the power if you wish––totally adjustable. It does take 3 hours or so to assemble this puppy and the glue needs to dry overnight. The boys helped me sand the parts. It was a fun family project. I can see that we will get many, many hours of fun out of this. Highly recommended for ages 4 (with adult supervision) to 104!
