[Draft 20060103°2201]

To get an overview and some system for ballistic techniques, here is some grid to put items into.

Of course, to be comprehensive, the columns should begin with stone and stick! Also many specific devices would deserve an own column, e.g. atlatl, scythe, crossbow, darts and others.

Transport No energy is stored during transport. No energy is stored during transport. The powder is produced long in advance. . . .
Energy production The energy is produced during the throwing. The energy is transfered from the muscles to the wood short before the shot by pulling the bow. The energy is provided as chemical reaction. . . .
