Talk:Repeating crossbow

message: In the article it states that the name is sometimes "misspelled as chu-ko-nu", yet in the next paragraph, it is used that way...
As for the use in Age of Empires, maybe it is spelt that way in the game (I have no first hand knowledge of the game), which is why I haven't edited it.

message: Does anybody have any information on performance data?
I'm particularly interested in "muzzle velocity" of the different designs, and I could not find any reliable English sources to cite such numbers.
I'd be rather surprised if nobody did tests with recreated models.

replies: text: Jörg Sprave's ancient-Chinese-inspired rubber band version fired Ikea pencils at 135 km/h; his heavily modified double-bowed Adder fires twenty gram bolts at 310 km/h. So it differs wildly depending on the construction of the bow and the projectiles used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 03:35, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

message: If they're heavily armored and, presumably, the bolt cannot penetrate that armor, at what point is the arrow/bolt injecting the poison into their bodies? 72.200.151.13 (talk) 01:39, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if they're heavily armored, they still could be penetrated, but the shot's are not fatal (By meaning, only a slight cut will be caused) Jason Sudana (talk) 13:26, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Hello. I'm not familiar with the Wade-Giles Mandarin romanisation (only pinyin) but why are the Wade-Giles tones first-second-third (high-rising-falling) but pinyin tones first-third-third (high-falling-falling)? Is it supposed to be like this or just an error? Hkbusfan (talk) 08:47, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

message: I only knew about the chu-ko-nu because of it being in the computer games Age of Empires and Civilization V (yes, the old revision link below mentions only Civ IV, not sure why). I think that many people who search online for it, including me (also I do have a Chinese background but still never heard of this outside the games mentioned above), probably searched it from the games so can we add those references back? I do think it helps make the connection in people's minds.
This is the most recent revision that mentioned the games:

message: The naval battle scroll image was painted by 太田天洋 in the early 20th century. Including it in this article is extremely problematic, because a layman might very well look at the image and assume it's period art, whereas in reality the painting and the events portrayed are separated by centuries. So to the reader it looks like documentary proof of not just the existence but also the functioning of the machine, whereas in reality the imagination of the artist may have had to bear a fair share of the burden.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 00:49, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

message: This article lists Liang Jieming as a source, but I'm not impressed with the scholarship of his work. Even this wiki article is better referenced and he doesn't provide proper image attribution either.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 00:54, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
