No, I'm trying to explain to you that one of these devices is meant as an defensive artillery piece to shoot over and beyond fortifications while the other is meant as a very accurate assault weapon to be wielded by mounted Bowman and shot accurately while riding a horse.

Or to put it another way. Yes, you can take a cricket bat to a baseball field and slam a home run with it but it's not meant for that.
