Depends on the mass of the projectile, and how the throwing arm is tuned.
If its release is tuned for distance and they’re flinging period-accurate projectiles, tuned firmly distance a typical period tree could throw stones about 300 meters.
Depending on the kind of fortifications they were against (and if they had siege engines of their own, or other artillery- bow and arrows, whatever) they might set up a little closer and tune instead for more forward velocity rather than range.
The typical mass was about 200-300 kilograms, or a small sedan. You could go heavier, but that typically reduced range.
You sent me down a little rabbit hole, depending on how one defines sedan, the lightest I could find is the Peel P50 at roughly 60 kg. A better fit weight wise could be the Isetta at roughly 350 kg.
But neither option, including the robin feels like a proper sedan to me, and only the robin really checks the basic requirements.
Afaik the term “sedan” doesn’t really define the amount of wheels, but I don’t tend to think of a three wheeled vehicle.
So the first four wheeled sedan style car that came to mind was the Trabant, but that’s still 600kg.

A small sedan weighs about four times as much as that
Get out of here with your facts.
(for what it’s worth, a reliant robin was about 450 kilo curb weight. I’m sure we can find a car that weighs in the range.)

Idk what the point of this text is…
Have a nice day, I guess?
