val-slöngva - I beilieve this is some form of catapult or stong throwing siege war-machine. I have also seen it spelt as valslynge. I came across these terms after enquiring if Viking people ever had siege weaponry.

If anyone can direct me to where I can find further information or description regarding the val-slöngva I would be most appreciative. Thanks.
