This is way different than a pinapple....perhaps not as destructive...but awful painful if launched from that sling shot..and broken open at the apex of it
That guy stabilizing it would be toast

Wow..that looks authentic Is that how you light your Hawaiian Barbecues, or do you just wait for Kilauea to get it started? Well, General, long before Sherman flame throwing tanks; long before improvised molotov catapults (made from some babushka's underwear!), British Boffins had perfected the Molotov chucker..this from 700 years ago... (the action takes a while to get going, whilst we're subjected to some tedious Jester-lookalike winding the 'crowd' up to fever pitch..or driving them ye olde exits..

Though the Trebuchet was used to hurl fireballs amongst other objects....I would still put that in the category of field artillery
Which is still a tad large to be mobile enough to take out one of those armored latrines
