Which outcome occurred when Roman siege catapults launched projectiles over city walls at shallow angles?

💡 Explanation

When catapults launched projectiles shallowly, decreased vertical trajectory occurred because of less arc and heightened potential for short-range impact, creating concentrated fire within a defined area. Therefore concentrated fires occur, rather than breaching walls, loss of power or trajectory issues which require less predictable trajectory.
