- The ballista works on the same basic principle as a crossbow. It consists of a long beam with a nook into which the projectile is inserted. The rear end of the projectile rests against a rope held on two lengths of wood, attached to the main body by torsion springs of rope. In normal crossbows, the string would be drawn by the shooter manually. As ballista arms were far too powerful for anyone to pull, the string (or rope, in this case) was fastened via another rope to a ratcheted winch, which was used to pull the firing rope. Ballistae mostly had wheels for transportation.
- Ballista was a cruiser in service to the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.
- Ballista was a missile weapon which launched a large projectile at a distant target. Each hit could inflict a sheer amount of damage although with a low rate of fire.
- The ballista is a large crossbow-type weapon that uses torsional force to propel a variety of projectiles, including darts, arrows, and harpoons, much further and faster than a catapult or similar device. It is mounted on a rotating platform aboard a Fire Navy ship, similar to the catapults and trebuchets also seen on those ships. The weapon is mainly used to fire a metal projectile into the hull of an enemy's vessel at a point below the water line. Once the hull is breached, the projectile opens up to prevent itself from pulling free.
- Ballista is a missile weapon which can be potentially used by one of the party members in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

- Developed from earlier Greek weapons, it relied upon different mechanics, using two levers with torsion springs instead of a prod, the springs consisting of several loops of twisted skeins. Early versions ejected heavy darts or spherical stone projectiles of various sizes for siege warfare. It developed into a smaller sniper weapon, the Scorpio, and possibly the polybolos.
- The Ballista is a defense engine.
- Un ballista è una persona, spesso giovane e dotato di un Q.I. pari a quello di una trota, che propone affermazioni inverosimili ai propri amici o colleghi, e per questo viene spesso deriso e/o pestato a sangue. I ballisti sono conosciuti anche come cazzari o, meno volgarmente come bugiardi. È noto a tutti che i cugini sono dei ballisti.
- Die Ballisten der Nachtelfen, die aus dem stabilen Holz der Bäume von Eschental gefertigt werden, sind tödliche Belagerungsmaschinen. Sie wurden erbaut, um schwere Bolzen aus Eisenholz auf feindliche Truppen und Gebäude abzuschießen. Ballisten werden von den Nachtelfen Wächtern aufgrund ihrer Beweglichkeit und Treffsicherheit in räumlich beengten Kampfgebieten als unschätzbare Hilfsmittel angesehen. Das Eisenholz für den Bau fand man auch im Eisenwald, der im nun verseuchten Teufelswald liegt. Doch die Urtume, die dort anzutreffen sind, wissen noch immer, wie man aus dem harten Holz, wertvolle Waffen herstellen kann.
- The "manlista" was the predecessor to the ballista. Lacking proper art assets, the Mordhau dev team showcased their ingenuity by making a ballista prototype out of one of their character models.
- Based on the same mechanical principles as the crossbow but on a larger scale, ballistae are the siege weapons that hurl stones or metal projectiles toward their targets. They were first built by the night elves, but the forces of both Alliance and the Horde have developed ballistae of their own design. After cranking back lever arms held tight in skeins of leather or sinew, the crew loads a projectile into the ballista's central track. When the trigger is released, the stored tension in the skeins of the ballista propels the projectile downrange at incredible speed.
- Ballistae have long shooting range. They are effective against all other seige weapons.
- The Ballista is one of 3 sniper rifles available to the . It inflicts a Protection debuff on targets, causing them to take 10% additional damage for its 5 second duration. Sniper rounds in Global Agenda are not hitscan, meaning they do not travel instantly. They are projectiles with travel time, though at close to mid range they are so fast that they are nearly instantaneous. An Epic Overclocked version is available from a vendor in Dome City for 30000 tokens.
- Een meesterwerk van onze wetenschappers: door de grote kruisboog kan het ballista schip gigantische speren afvuren op de vloot van de vijand en zelfs het meeste zelfverzekerde schip schrik aanjagen. Terug naar schepen
- The ballista (Latin, from Greek βαλλίστρα – ballistra and that from – βάλλω ballō, "throw"), plural ballistae, was an ancient missile weapon that launched a large projectile at a distant target. Developed from earlier Greek weapons, it relied upon different mechanics, using two levers with torsion springs instead of a prod, the springs consisting of several loops of twisted skeins. Early versions projected heavy darts or spherical stone projectiles of various sizes for siege warfare. It developed into a smaller sniper weapon, the scorpio, and possibly the polybolos.
- thumb|Eine Ballista Die Ballista ist ein drehbares Katapult, das, ähnlich den Trebuchets Geschoße über eine große Reichweite werfen kann. Die Geräte nutzen gespannte Seile und eine biegsame Stange als Energieträger. Da Katapulte schwerer zu bauen sind und weniger Präzision bei längerer Ladezeit haben, werden Trebuchets bevorzugt. Wie auch das Trebuchet, so hat die Feuernation es geschafft, diese Waffe auf See nutzbar zu machen. Kategorie:Waffe Kategorie:Militär Kategorie:Avatar - Der Herr der Elemente
- The ballista is a war machine in Heroes of Might and Magic III and Heroes of Might and Magic V.
- Ballistas were motherships of great capacity, able to host smaller ships in its bay, as well as carry a large amount of military. Ballistas should be commanded by a Tercero or higher.
- These weapons with arms strengthened with bronze plates and strung with horsehair are capable of propelling a heavy bolts up to a mile away, but because of their sheer strength, the recoil of each shot causes the weapon to shift from its original position, so the same target cannot be hit on two consecutive fires. An experienced crew can cock and release two bolts each minute. It is a deadly and very costly weapon.
- The Ballista is a point-and-shoot weapon in Worms Forts: Under Siege, accessible through the Tower. When selected, you can fire one arrow at first, then readjust the aiming if needed before a second shot. The Ballista is a smaller and more compact version of the Giant Crossbow. File:Ballista.jpg

- Ballistae are primarily found in the Shiverpeak Mountains, at areas of strategic importance. Most Ballistae break when you kill the NPC controller.
- From [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Ballista]] ballista < [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Ballista]] βαλλίστρα (ballistra) < βάλλω (ballō), “‘I throw’”).

- Ballistae (ロングアーチ Rongu āchi, lit. Long Arches in the Japanese versions) are special long-ranged artillery weaponry that recurrently appear across the Fire Emblem Series. Deployed across many a battlefield by units of the Archer class line, these weapons are capable of firing ammunition over great distances, dramatically expanding the range of the normal Archer, Sniper or Marksman. Much like their Bow counterparts, ballistae are capable of inflicting effective damage against Flying Units like Pegasus Knights and Wyvern Riders and cannot be countered. In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, ballistae are solely operated by a special Ballistician class.
- Before you can use a ballista in a Castle Wars match, you must purchase all four ballista parts and at least one piece of ammo for it. If you lack ammo, it'll display the message: "You don't have any ballista ammo, so there's no point in setting up the weapon.". After the ballista is destroyed, the parts (including all left over ammo) are dropped on the left side of the setup station for the owner to pick up. You will get a warning 2–3 minutes in advance if it is going to collapse out of time. Therefore, once the ballista parts are dropped, the player may use it again in exactly 1 minute's time. Then they may be set up and used again. This is an effective way to get the most kills as it usually hits a minimum of 100 life points. It can also be rotated at right angles.
- The ballista works on the same basic principle as a crossbow, i.e. it consists of a long beam with a nook into which the projectile is inserted. The rear end of the projectile rests against a rope held on two lengths of wood, attached to the main body by torsion springs of rope. In normal crossbows, the string would be drawn by the shooter manually. As ballista arms were far too powerful for anyone to pull, the string (or rope, in this case) was fastened via another rope to a ratcheted winch, which was used to pull the firing rope. Ballistae mostly had wheels for transportation. It should be noted that crossbows were developed by adapting ballistae to a smaller size, not the other way around. One difference between crossbows and ballistae is that crossbow bows were made of one piece of woo
