I guess they’ll finally have to stop marketing them as “less-lethal” weapons.

To be the bearer of some slightly disappointing news: the article makes clear in the end that evidence points to the man having been killed by a thing launched from a trebuchet, not that he himself was the thing launched from a trebuchet.

Love the headline! So the trebuchet catapulted ahead of Da Vinci's siege crossbow?
