I'm coming up with 1000lbs of TNT. I have no idea what I'm doing though and the conversions are apparently controversial.
You can hit the standard bridge with 19, 19 hand high horses with a standard 15 meter trebuchet; assuming all shots are places back to back in under 7 minutes.
If it is built to withstand such a horse thumping, it is given an A rating by the Bridge Association of America. (BAA)
Some of this may be controversial though.
does range come into play here?
It shouldn't. A trebuchet is a superior siege engine with great horse tossing ability. What might factor is whether it is riderless or not.
