Description
This ancient Chinese repeating crossbow is one of the first automatic weapons in history! Dating back to the 4th century BC, this ingenious invention helped defend the Great Wall of China. With a top-mounted magazine and a simple pull-handle, it auto-loaded and fired arrows rapidly — revolutionizing defensive warfare by enabling continuous fire even by untrained civilians. But its short range and low power made it unsuitable for offense.
