Harsher in hindsight, for sure.

In the 1800′s, the Persians had cannon designed to be fired from the backs of Camels.

I assume Moose artillery works similarly. Not to say that I don’t get a sick kick out of the idea of launching moose from trebuchets. :-)

Looking at recent developments. This guest comic is quite accurate.

Yeah… But that wouldn’t be very efficient. Rubber bands, even large ones, don’t produce effective long-range artillery. They’re also not very durable. Bows and Crossbows don’t get their power from the string; they get it from the wood/fiberglass/steel bow.

A moose artillery would basically amount to antler-mounted slingshots. Not very effective against any kind of armor, really.

Catapults with moose as the ammunition, though? Hilarious AND effective. At long distances, the velocity of a moose (often weighting in excess of half a ton) is enough, that on impact, will cause biological shrapnel – bits of moose – to go everywhere. As a diversionary tactic, it works wonders. As a psychological tactic… well… I’m sure you can imagine.
