if it had a large weight it was throwing then it probably would affect the throwing distance and height...the best rock thrower is called a trebuchet.
it could also affect the speed the progectile is moving making it fall short of the desired distance.
If it is too heavy the catapult might not be able to lift the progectile off the ground.
hope this helps

Does density of objects with the same weight affect how far it goes off a catapult?
Yes; if density is lower with same weight it will have bigger volume, hence more air resistance when catapulted and hence less distance traveled
How does gravity affect a catapult?
Gravity pulls down the object catapulted and brings it to the ground.
