| meaning 2 | slingshot | In het Nederlands taalgebied wordt met een katapult ook een speelgoedwapen aangeduid. Dit is een handkatapult, bestaande uit een Y-vormig stuk hout, vaak gewoon een gevorkte tak. Aan de twee armen van de katapult zijn twee stukken rubber of elastiek bevestigd, die zijn bevestigd aan een strookje leer waarin het projectiel wordt geplaatst. Met een dergelijke katapult kunnen steentjes of specifiek daarvoor bedoelde projectielen zoals ronde stalen kogels of knikkers worden weggeschoten. In the Dutch language area, a catapult also denotes a toy weapon. This is a hand catapult, consisting of a Y-shaped piece of wood, often just a forked branch. Two pieces of rubber or elastic are attached to the two arms of the slingshot, which are attached to a strip of leather in which the projectile is placed. With such a catapult, stones or projectiles specifically intended for this purpose, such as round steel balls or marbles, can be fired. |
