Chu Ko Nu

Chu Ko Nu is a form of Technology and Culture.

Description
The Chu ko no is a repeating crossbow, particularly favored by peasants. The string is pulled back by hand, so each shot is rather weak, but the recocking motion loads another bolt, allowing a shot to be fired off every couple of seconds. It can be effective against unarmored targets, but against armored troops. Its effect is more disconcerting than lethal. Sometimes the bolts are tipped with poison to increase their effect.
