Default "Modern" Catapults
It seems that some historic reenactors were present with the protestors at Maidan, Kiev. You may have noticed it in the evening news that some historically inspired catapults (German: Bliden) has been used.

But also in Switzerland similar catapults were used only some 100 years earlier in World War I (1914-1918) for throwing hand grenades. See B/W photo of Swiss Federal Archives, CH-SFA#E27#1000/721#14095#3768*
