If one were to shoot a penguin out of a catapult how far do you think it could fly?

Question

I don't wanna hurt the poor thing so we can test this out over a big lake...

Answer 1

Hard to say, but I do know, from experience, if you freeze it first you can figure about a 20% increase in distance. Don't try doing it with a live one. They just flap around a lot and really screw up the flight arc. Have fun, and enjoy the BBQ after. They taste like chicken.

Answer 2

Pretty far depending on the force behind the catapult and the size of the penguin.

Answer 3

Good question, Take a smaller penguin maybe a blue eye over an emperor, and if the wind is behind it, and the catapult is strong enough, I'd say a good few hundred meters.

Answer 4

Depending on the style of catapult, and size of penguin, perhaps 400-500 yards.

Answer 5

Well what do you think jerk wad...if you don't want to hurt the poor thing then DON'T SHOOT THE POOR PENGUIN OUT OF A CATAPULT!!!

Answer 6

*gasps* don't do that to an adorable penguin!
idk, probably not very far cuz they aren't built for flying, so they would probably just fall out of the air when the energy from the cannon ran out.

Answer 7

It depends on the elastic capacity of the catapult.

Answer 8

Try Loch Ness, that way the monster can clean up the mess for us. I'd probably go pretty far, who can say, really?

Answer 9

To the nearest ... Bud Ice.. Beware of the Penguins

Answer 10

id say if its a little one about 1000 feet if its a big one maybe 400 foot
