(Wouldn there be some sort of loading mechanism?) (It's my idea that you crank some lever a couple times and it pulls the cable back for you, you slide the bolt in, and then pull a trigger/lever to release the cable, sending the bolt flying.  The recoil is immense though, which is why a ballista can never hit the same place twice.)
