      Me and brother made a chipmunk catapult when we were growing up. They seemed to enjoy it because they wouldn't even attempt to avoid it and we could launch the same chipmunk over and over and it would just keep coming back for more peanuts.

      There were very simple traps that required minimal material - for example, the rock and stick trap. The sort of trap demonstrated in this video would have been a trap many people would not have been able to afford or had access to in the 15th century.
