What was the maximum range of ballista?

over 100 m

over 150 m

over 450 m

over 200 m

The ballista was a highly accurate weapon (there are many accounts of single soldiers being picked off by ballista operators), but some design aspects meant it could compromise its accuracy for range. The maximum range was over 450 m, but effective combat range for many targets was far shorter.
