Oh you meant that shitty inferior and cumbersome low IQ version? I forgot that shit existed and so did eurojeets because it was so shitty they literally forgot crossbows existed until the medieval period lmao meanwhile chinese crossbows were infinitely superior and had actual triggers made of bronze (bronze was also never independently invented by euroniggers btw)
