Questions re: ballista, scorpio crews

[Martin Moser]

With our scorpio we are able to fire a maximum of 13 bolts in one minute with a 3 men crew. It took 2 days drilling and refining who does what when and getting used to the sequence by repetitionrepetitionrepetitionrepetition to achieve this (we started at 5/minute). I guess we could maintain a rate of 9-10 bolts per minute over a 10-20 minute period. Of course that's no sniping, rather shooting at barn doors, like. No proof of what they did back then, just an observation of personal experience.
