Oyumi (TCG)

Oyumi were Rokugani crossbows, Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 59 developed out by the Crab Clan of necessity to fight the deadly forces of the Shadowlands. This weapon consisted of a recurve or traditional bow laid horizontally on a long, stout stock. Held to the shoulder, the oyumi was fired by squeezing a long lever on the bottom of the stock. It fired short, arrow-like projectiles called quarrels. Its existence was a matter of some consternation among the other clans, but the Crab maintained that its use—even in the hands of ashigaru and peasants in times of crisis—had been vital to the preservation of the Empire.
