I should think so too.
We use to make gats or catapults and they were very powerful when finished. There was an old derelict village not far from our house....run down and dilapidated.. it was from around the time of the famine in Ireland (1845/50) and it was a great place to go play war games.
Nearly lost an eye from an opponent who caught me full in the side of the head with a steeler ball.
He was lifted out of it for using it as it was banned from the game because it was deemed to dangerous. Only small stones found in the area were to be used.
Of course marbles were commonly smuggled into the was zone but we tried to stick by rules.. We even had two very pretty young girls who would come over to watch the war and would act as nurses during the hostilities...but that is another story...
