Zhuge Liang's Crossbow
Zhuge Liang was a Chinese inventor, strategist, and politician in the short-lived Shu Han state. Among his many accomplishments, he improved the chu ko nu repeating crossbow. Later fiction like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms assigns him magical powers, no doubt due to his nearly supernatural cleverness.\n\nThe crossbow was invented in or around ancient China. Though it achieved a fearsome reputation, its low rate of fire left the user vulnerable. The repeating crossbow or chu ko nu was invented to circumvent this weakness, laying down a withering volley of fire at the cost of power and accuracy. They were so effective that Chinese soldiers continued to wield them as late as the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.
