Arbalest

The Arbalest is a heavy duty weapon invented by Pierce. Primarily used in defensive situations, Arbalests are large wooden structures that house several dozen arrows at once which are placed in rows. Upon firing, it releases a set of 12 arrows with great force over large distances. A crank is then turned to load the next row of arrows, and is then fired by pulling a lever on the other side, requiring two men to operate it. While powerful, it requires a long time to reload after all its arrows have been shot, and since it is stationary, the arrows cannot be aimed anywhere but directly ahead.
