So I know that a hit may push the target up to 5ft. What happens on a miss? Does the munition disappear like the repeating shot infusion or does it deal damage to the first thing it impacts within the 120ft? Or is this a DM discretion thing? It is a ballista, but the attack is a ranged spell dealing force damage smilar to Magic Missile.
It's a blast of force damage like Eldritch Blast and not actually a projectile, unless your DM and you want to flavor it that way. It either hits what you're aiming at, or misses everything completely - otherwise you'd basically be getting the Catapult spell every turn as a bonus action for free.

There is never an effect on a missed attack roll unless the spell, ability, or weapon description specifically states that there is.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Why is there no size limit on the knockback. Seems wrong to have a tiny cannon knockback a gargantuan creature.
When death comes for you, make that bastard work for it.
Because it's magic.
