See Discovery Channel's Mythbusters Season 8 Episode 22 ([1] around the 2min mark) for a roundworld example of a gravity fed repeating crossbow. Given that their version used a wooden rather than steel bow and still managed to be reasonable accurate and powerful at 200yds I'd be more than scared of anything Messrs Burliegh and Stronginthearm were selling. --Megahurts 16:02, 14 November 2010 (CET)
Adam Hart-Davis, too, the slightly loopy presenter of "What did the Romans ever do for us?", helped rebuild a repeating crossbow of the sort General (later Emperor) Vespasian used to break British resistance in the Devon hill-forts. [2]
Now imagine Detritus armed with a repeater...--AgProv 16:12, 14 November 2010 (CET)
