Interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's project.

This is not a total invention, but the optimization of an existing weapon. In Leonardo's time, in fact, bombards were used in sieges. Their large mouth allowed them to fire large projectiles that could easily open large breaches in enemy defenses. The machines, however, were decidedly heavy and took a long time to maneuver. In addition to this they were completely ineffective in the open field. Leonardo studied the problem by optimizing the war machine. Higher yields recharging is easy and quick, it attenuates the recoil, he planned a rapid targeting system. And above all he invented a new type of "ballot" (as the bombardment projectiles of the time were called), i.e. a projectile which, once launched, split into many explosive bombs.
