The Repeating Crossbow, An Ancient \'Machine Gun\'
#4
Alright. So all three are still well in the copyright lands. Too bad. :wink:

What do you think of the reconstruction in the Mainz Museum?

Anyway, on what ancient evidence are all these reconstructions, replica and schemes alike, based?

I also noted that this 'machine-gun' may well be the first instance of a chain drive, albeit with uncontinous motion.
