![]() Take a look at the video on this Field and Stream article to see what a small flint arrowhead can do to a deer carcass. It makes a lot of difference if you are comparing a blunt arrowhead (like the metal tipped one in the video) compared to some sort of blade arrowhead. What kind of tip was on the 20 kg pull crossbow? And like the dude alluded - it's not even that much smaller than a reflexive bow. So to marginally improve rate of fire of a bow, you're sacrificing a LOT of power. The only advantage it's got is that you don't need to grab bolts for every shot,as you'd need to grab and align an arrow if you were using a bow. You still have to physically pull back the bow with each shot, and your rate of fire as well as power is tied to your strength. This is not a secret weapon, it's an interesting concept that doesn't seem very functional. Whereas my crossbow with ~50 kg pull could not be reloaded one handed. Sauce: was shot in the asscheek by a crossbow with ~20 kg pull, didn't even get a bruise. On 20 meters it has trouble penetrating cardboard targets (goes in ~1cm if you shot straight). Such a crossbow doesn't penetrate a chainmail over on distance of 2 meters. I'd be mighty surprised if this crossbow has more than 20 kg of pull.
