For people living in the 21st century, medieval times are difficult to even fathom. Medieval times were fascinating, from the daily activities of the average person to the way they did battle. The UGears Archballista brings you a slice of that medieval style in the form of one of our most intricate, beautiful models to date. If you’re a fan of everything medieval, you’ll love carefully putting together this model and having it as a display piece in your home. The team at UGears designed the Archballista to be a close replica of the ballista towers used in the days of old, down to every little detail.

With how stunning this model looks and all the intricacies that go into designing it and putting it together, you’d probably expect it to be something you put together and display proudly on a shelf for the rest of its life. However, the UGears Archballista is actually designed to be fully functional art. Not only can you enjoy this as a display piece on your shelf after you’ve put it together, you can test out some shots on it to feel like a real medieval warrior.

Back in medieval times, ballistas were used as both an offensive and defensive tool for some of the greatest armies in the world. Ballistas are essentially very large crossbows that get their firing power from built-up tension. Much like a crossbow, a ballista uses tension from a string or rope that’s pulled back to deliver power to arrows. This was an effective way of doing battle early on because ballista towers were capable of shooting much larger projectiles at a much faster speed than could be done with a regular bow. When it comes to conquering, the UGears Archballista is the ultimate weapon to have on your side.

The UGears Archballista is suitable for individuals 14 or older, and we estimate that it will take you about six hours to put the entire model together.
