I am extremely surprised you couldn't just google this.

Okay, on Reddit I saw a lot of people saying "yes" but nobody doing the math. I don't care enough to see how exact the specs we get are for the GoT ballistas, but modern experiments with reproduction medieval ballistas yield 1500-2500 joules of energy delivered to the target per shot.

A Barret 50 cal delivers something like 20,000 and is much easier to hit a target with. So, unless there's something specfic about how the ballista did it other than delivering a lot of energy to one point via a very small piece of metal: yes.
