    The speaker is explaining how the shot weighs 2,8 kg and they can only shoot with reduced power, because it would be able to make 500m during a siege.

      With an actual bolt 300 yards wouldn't be a problem for a ballista. So it's not as bad as it looks.
      That no one could hit the side of a mountain after that is the bigger problem I think.
