![]() ![]() Were they at all powerful? No, people talk about how strong a crossbow is, and hardly anyone actually knows.You would be run down by by them before you got your 3rd or 4th bolt out. Would you be able to 1v5 with this weapons, no.Can it be made so that you would need an item to represent that actual crossbow, have it signed by an LT member/moderator/director/etc? Yes, that is completely possible.I personally have no qualms about this weapon at all. Should they be added into LOTC? I have no idea. Is it possible to have these added into LOTC? Completely.They were heavy and if you wanted to have a rather large one, you would need two people to operate it and have it mounted.These are not accurate at all, they were made so groups of these can be fired into a group of enemies, kind of like musket formations during the Revolutionary War and Civil War(these are examples).These were in no means easy to carry, it is a must to carry it at the hip and fire from there.These were not easy to make in any means, it would require skill to make one.These can be made with out current technological level.It can only shoot 7 bolts at a time per ammo container.It must be mounted to be fired accurately shooting from the hip will likely injure comrades as the weapon as no sights to aim from.The parts required to make are all custom made so its much more expensive than your average crossbow however much more deadly as well.Loading can take some time and the ammo required will take up a lot of space as well anyone carrying this would be weighed down heavily in battle. The user must be quite strong as to rotating the gears would require a lot of strength to use as well as carrying the weapon around so only dwarves, humans, uruks, and the occasional buff elf. It is very clunky so much more than your average crossbow because of the ammo cartridge making it very hard to transport around as one must always use care as not to break the delicate machinery within. It can be used to suppress enemies or fire into large groups of enemies with varying success depending on the situation at hand. In dire situations one may be able to get 1 or 2 shots off in mid-close combat but those shots will take a -5 accuracy penalty. the crossbow can only be fired mounted on a bipod or a solid surface having the stock rest on top of the shoulder. The device offers quick repeat heavy shots of crossbow bolts at any range depending on the way the user is holding it. An LT must over must over see the contruction of the device. Any knock offs would be very dangerous and likely to cause injury in usage. Only those taught by grilthram would have the knowledge of how the gears turn and function correctly. Rolls are -3 accruacy for each shot and you can only shoot every 3 seconds as it will take a few intervals of turning the crank to pull back and fire the weapon. On the bottom of the weapon, a bipod would also be located for mounting the weapon as well as a long stock for resting it on the shoulder.įiring the weapon itself requires one to be prone or resting on a solid surface. ![]() Now let's move onto the next part the ammo, Above the back end of the device resting on the sight bridge is a large container of ammo that can be clipped on and off of the the crossbow to reload see (Fig2) It is suggested that when firing the device one lays down or rests against a stable object this will allow for long range firing as it presents the user with a more accurate way to control and fire the weapon. That is the loading and firing portion of the device now lets return back to (Fig 1) The large gear seen here would have a handle on it so that the user would be able to rotate the gear causing the wooden rail to move back towards the end of the cross bow loading another bolt to be shot. Now at the very back of the wooden rail would rest the string and a small groove for the bolts to lay to be flung forward and down the crossbow and at the enemy. It would look like this (Fig1) except it would be upside down resting on the sides of the flight groove connected at the back. The wooden rail has on one of the sides teeth for gears to connect and pull it back up the length of the crossbow. Now let's jump right in a wooden rail rests on the flight groove sliding back and forth up and down the length of the cross bow. What makes this crossbow stand out however is its loading and firing mechanisms, as well as its weight and overall cumbersome nature.Īs stated before the main frame of the crossbow stays the same it shoots with as much strength as any other crossbow however the difference here being that it shots are much much faster. The length of the crossbow is the size of any regular crossbow, as well as the width of the crossbow is for the most part unaltered. This crossbow was invented by grilthram grandaxe using a simple gear and teeth to contract the string, load a bolt, and release all in one fluid motion. ![]()
