(Singular is ballista, plural is ballistae. It's a Latin word.)

Lysander was fairly confident that he wouldn't be hit. Ballistae were never good at picking out single targets at long range, and they were on ships, so they would rock back and forth. He dove into the water, where it would be even harder for them to hit, and began to swim towards the nearest ship.
