Where Did Crossbows Originate? What Are Its Uses?
The crossbow is a weapon that goes back to the Middle Ages. At that point, it was primarily used as a siege weapon, but over time it became more and more common on the battlefield. It had some advantages over other ballista weapons because of its simplicity- load up a crossbow with arrows and fire away! In the 16th century, military technology developed into an arms race between gunslingers and long-distance weapons such as cannons.
