Can companions use the corssbow: Yes, but if you equip only the "semi auto bolts" on them the game crashes, so make sure to equip both items or none. crosshair desappear : Know fact, i wont fix it because i havnt the required skills neither the will to aquire them Buy them from cities (it randomly appear in cities, they should be fairly common) Sooo all the credit goes to -> i dont remember who :S (but not me) There use to be i similar mod, but it was not working anymore so i fixed it and transformed it into this mod. , November 3, 2010.This mod was meant to private use only (since i have only 1, iq i did not tick the private checkbox. ^ βάλλω, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, on Perseus Digital Library.The Chinese one was smaller and cuter, but I suspect it was basically a close range. Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, on Perseus Digital Library The MythBusters built the Roman one and tried it out, it worked pretty well. ^ πολυβόλος, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, on Perseus Digital Library.^ Philo of Byzantium, "Belopoeica", 73.34.^ a b Werner Soedel, Vernard Foley (March 1979). ![]() Repeating and Multi-Fire Weapons: A History from the Zhuge Crossbow Through the AK-47. However, the machine MythBusters built was prone to breakdowns that had to be fixed multiple times. ![]() In 2010 a MythBusters episode was dedicated to building and testing a replica, and concluded that its existence as a historical weapon was plausible. The repetition provides the weapon's name, in Greek πολυβόλος, "throwing many missiles", from πολύς ( polys), "multiple, many" and -βόλος ( -bolos) "thrower", in turn from βάλλω ( ballo), "to throw, to hurl", literally a repeating weapon. Upon the bolt being fired, the process is repeated. This one causes the claws to disengage the drawstring and automatically fires the loaded bolt. As the windlass is rotated further back to the very back end, the claws on the mensa meets another lug like the one that pushed the claws into catching the string. With the drawstring pulled back and a bolt loaded on the mensa, the polybolos is ready to be fired. At the same time, a round wooden pole in the bottom of the magazine is rotated via a spiral groove being driven by a rivet attached to the sliding mensa dropping a single bolt from a carved notch in the rotating pole. Once the string is held firm by the trigger mechanism, the windlass is then rotated clockwise pulling the mensa back and drawing the bow string with it. At the very front, a metal lug at the front trigger the latching claws into catching the drawstring. ![]() When loading a new bolt and spanning the drawstring, the windlass is rotated counterclockwise by an operator standing on the left side of the weapon this drives the mensa forward towards the bow string. The mensa itself was a sliding plank (similar to that on the gastraphetes) containing the claw latches used to pull back the drawstring and was attached to the chain link. The mechanism is unique in that it is driven by a flat-link chain connected to a windlass. The polybolos would have differed from an ordinary ballista in that it had a wooden hopper magazine, capable of holding several dozen bolts, that was positioned over the mensa (the cradle that holds the bolt prior to firing). Philo left a detailed description of the gears that powered its chain drive (the oldest known application of such a mechanism ) and that placed bolt after bolt into its firing slot. 220 BC) encountered and described a weapon similar to the polybolos, a catapult that could fire again and again without a need for manual reloading. The polybolos was not a crossbow since it used a torsion mechanism, drawing its power from twisted sinew-bundles. The polybolos (the name means "multi-thrower" in Greek ) was an ancient Greek repeating ballista, reputedly invented by Dionysius of Alexandria (a 3rd-century BC Greek engineer at the Rhodes arsenal, ) and used in antiquity.
