No, I was stating that there are crossbows OTHER than the typical pull-back and repeating crossbows. The others were stated in my post above. If you're going to make a crossbow guide, you need to include ALL the different mechanisms, not just the most popular.

Also, just to pull the string back on any crossbow is extremely hard. Generally, if it's the pull back, you have about 100 pounds of draw weight. If it's a German Cranequin, you're talking 1000 pounds. Anything over 350 pounds would need a devise to pull back the string, most defiantly. I'd like to see you pull back a 350 pound string, because it's obviously hard, slow, and inefficient.

I seriously hope people aren't using guns now.


I don't know what you mean by mistakes, but I see none.

Unless it has to do with grammar, in which case I don't care.

Bolts vs. Platemail:
Like the arrow, there would likely be a bolt compatriot able to pierce platemail and such kind of armours. For an arrow, this is the broadhead, able to concentrate more mass and, thus, more force on a target, at the expense of being difficult and expensive to manufacture and not having near the range of a bodkin that works against chainmail.

The bolt version would likely have a heavier body, larger head, and be longer in general. It would have an even shorter range than the standard bolt, perhaps 20 meters or less, but could punch quite the hole in platemail.
