The maximum deflection of these bows was mostly a function of the quality of steel and the thickness and width of the prod. The most powerful crossbow (what was left of it) that I personally have seen was estimated at about 1650 lbs (750Kg) at the British museum. From the length of the prod I would guess that it only had a draw length of 5-7 inches. But, the bow shown would have been a decent representation of a heavy crossbow, and would penetrate armor (with proper points) at 50-100 yds.

Doesn't need a long draw, in this case its preferable that it doesn't have one. The prod is 1000+ pounds and it's been strung at a very high prod tension, so a loosed shot will always be at a very high velocity. Most of the European crossbows 9espcially late period ones) only have a very short draw.
@cool06alt2 жыл бұрын
Very short draw means very inefficient mechanic body. 1000+ pounds are basically only translated into 10% of that for the actual output. Rather than saying it doesn't need a long draw, it cannot afford to have long draw because steel prods would just snapped like twigs. "so a loosed shot will always be at a very high velocity." It's not so much high velocity compared to much efficient asiatic crossbow or modern compound crossbow. 145 fps vs 250 fps vs 300 fps. Do tell if that's very high velocity.

The difference between 4" and 7" (as in a siege crossbow of 1200lbs I COULD cite you) means an increase in potential power by 206%. The crossbow shown will neither pierce any armor nor come close to the kinetic energy in an arrow from an English warbow.

***** It is the same reason why people started using muskets instead of bows. They required enormous amount of training to be effective with bows. Crossbow is the same deal, it is time consuming process to load it (and if you use any other spanning method than Windlass, it is also very exhausting). And lastly, the crossbow did not have the greatest range and the power, whereas musket did have power. If you're hit by a musketball, you're out of the fight, even though it is very inaccurate. But mostly, it requires little to no skill and strength to use musket effectively.
@LutzDerLurch10 жыл бұрын
***** Vccine The accuracy of the bow is largely overhyped, whilst the inaccuracy of the musket is vastly exaggerated. Also, contryry to popular belief, it does take some training to make a man a musketeer of any use. But crossbows and muskets don't take ages of training to become physically able to use them. If you expect to just pick a random idiot and hand him a musket, you'll assume muskets can't hit shit, as the musket is difficult to learn in regards to hitting your target.
@LutzDerLurch9 жыл бұрын
***** Yes, undersized balls were used in the military, but the "bouncing" is largely a myth. What throws off a smoothbores accuracy is any random spin the ball might acquire on it'S way out of the barrel. Military ammunition with paper cartridges though prevent a random spin fairly reliably. Wether or not that was understood and desired, or just coincidence, is up to debate. (With a paper cartridge and going by period loading manuals, the paper is effectively hammered into a sabot between powder and ball. The ball itself wrapped in the paper, preventing it from aquiring a spin. As soon as it leaves the muzzle, the paper tears off.) The fact is, that military ammunition, whilst less accurate than 'perfect' loads, is not that much worse, and is itself much better than people think. There are numerous tests conducted in the 18th C. with units firing at targets and marks, and it is quite impressive what random soldiers with their normal muskets and ammunition achieved. When looking at history, usually when around 20 to 30% of the own troops become casualties, units/armies tend to break. With the period tests against targets on a range, 300 yards distance and two three volleys would already fulfill that quota. In reality, sometimes volleys were fired at less than 20 yards with almost no effect. The key is psychology. People missed much more than the muskets did. Ultimately, firepower is more than just accuracy, and though armchairgenerals belittle the military leaders of old for choosing quick muskets over accurate rifles, in the subsequent history and even modern times, we se that much more emphasis is on the amount of lead poured out.

@1cme110 жыл бұрын
Mulberry2000 a longbow does not penetrate plate armor at 100 yards, and very often it will not penetrate even at very close range. if this were true, the French would have completely stopped wearing it in the hundred years war, where more than 60-70 percent of the English army was made up of longbowmen. equally, English men at arms did not stop wearing plate armor in the face of french crossbowmen. there is not a single recorded historical example of any individual dying from an arrow wound while wearing a full suit of plate armor. the only examples we know of where a person wearing plate armor was wounded by an arrow, is when they were hit in the face. either with their visor up, or at very close range from the side, penetrating their visor (at the battle of Poitiers for example). however, even penetrating the visor. which is usually made of thinner metal than the rest of the helmet, was considered a quite exceptional feat. what i believe this misconception comes from, is that people might say something like a bodkin point arrow is designed to penetrate armor. someone hears this, and when they think of armor they immediately assume plate. but this is not the case. bodkin points are quite good at penetrating mail armor (however even this can be challenging. there are numerous examples of arrows failing to penetrate mail). and crossbows are exceptional at penetrating mail. this is what people really mean when they say that these weapons can penetrate armor. lets not forget that even a soldier wearing something as simple as just a gambeson (these have been known to stop arrows as well) is armored.
