A few of my friends were chatting in Skype, and somehow, we came up with the challenge to come up with the most extravegant, yet effective, way to fire a bird no bigger than a breadbox from a slingshot in D&D 3.5 terms. Well...I'm going to open the floor to you folks, and see what you can come up with in any game, as long as it conforms to the following rules:

1.The weapon used -must- be a slingshot
2.The bird may be no larger than a bread box
3.The target used for reference must be one of the following: A WoW Gnome, a pig, or a building
4. The bird may not be enlarged, as breadbox is fixed

Here's what you start with:

You mount a cannon atop the slingshot.

Eventually you end up with something like this.

Which type of "slingshot"? Elastic pullback or leather thong?

1-4:

Trebuchet.

Actually I think there's a catapult variant that works like a slingshot.
