The bowstring is drawn back, and caught by a mechanism that holds it in the drawn position. A crossbow bolt (arrow) is placed in the groove in the center, ahead of the string. Pulling the trigger releases the string, and fires the bolt. Some crossbows require a lever or winding mechanism to draw back the bowstring.
Cock a crossbow while on safety. That way you won't accidentally release it while placing the bolt.
Crossbows can only fire bolts, not regular arrows.
fire bolts and boltcutters simply perfffffect
I don't think a crossbow can actually fire a missle
A longbow was much lighter than a crossbow and provided a better rate of fire.
Crossbows were powerful and accurate but took a long time to re-load. A good archer could fire 6-8 arrows while a crossbow was re-loaded.
I am just reading about Crecy (1327): Oh dear, the crossbow is found out ! It has a very high impact speed, but this is detracted by its rate of fire. The crossbow is excellent against static targets, but the crossbowmen must be defended because of their slow rate of fire....
A crossbow? Or a regular bow? You would need a lot of strength to fire an arrow using just a bow.
Crossbow, crossbow
About 300 meters to 500 meters a crossbow can shoot. Also our ancestors were and are stronger then use. If we challenged them with laser or any other automatic gun weapon they would destroy use.
a BOLT is SHOT from a crossbow, you FIRE a GUN, you SHOOT a bow
the best crossbow to use is rune crossbow. or if u have done the chosen commander quest use the zaniks crossbow.
