EXPLANATION
A crossbow is typically an elastic ranged weapon that has a similar principle with a bow. A crossbow consists of a prod, that is a bow-like assembly. The prod is mounted horizontally on a tiller (the mainframe). A crossbow is a handheld in a similar way as the stock of a long gun.
A crossbow will shoot bolts or quarrels, which are arrow-like projectiles. The term crossbow is derived from the word ballista, it is a torsion siege engine from ancient Greek that has a similar appearance.
Even though crossbow and bow have the same launch principle, they are different in how to sustain the draw. In crossbow’s the draw needs to be maintained manually. The procedure is to pull the bowstrings with fingers, back muscles, and arm and holding the same form for quite some time, in order to finally aim. This form demands physical stamina and physical strength.
While a crossbow only uses a locking mechanism in order to sustain the draw. Crossbow's mechanism limits the shooter’s extension. A shooter has to pull the string into the lock and release the shot using a trigger or a lever. In this procedure, it enables the shooter to have better precision, since it has less physical strain.
