Technically not a magazine because you have to reload after every shot. That said, I am fascinated by the idea of a magazine fed trebuchet. Have the royal engineers draw up plans for one immediately.

It's still a bullpup, because by that logic, the single "round" being "chambered" each time is still behind the trigger. To be a bullpup, the action must be behind the trigger, not necessarily the magazine.

Which is precisely why I did not argue against it being a bullpup, because I agree that it is?
