although I have long hankered after a CROSSBOW!!

C'mon, blow the neighbours, I want a siege engine -- To be more accurate, a counterweighted trebuchet-- With, of course, a pivoting counterweight for more efficient delivery of power. To misquote Crocodile Dundee "That's not a catapult, THIS is a catapult."

Heh. I work with a guy who builds them and uses them to throw things in competition.

Getting one shipped to Oz, though, might be a wee bit pricy.

Sometime before my days are out I want to build, and play with, a spud gun. The only problem is finding enough open space to practise with where one won't pelt the neighbours three streets over.
