crossbows
Bolt-firing ranged weapons
A crossbow is a weapon that shoots projectiles using a bow mounted horizontally on a stock, drawn and held by a mechanical catch until released by a trigger.
Unlike traditional bows requiring sustained arm strength, crossbows can be aimed and fired like guns: The hunter loaded his crossbow.
They remain popular for hunting and target shooting.
