Recently acquired from Mike Loades collection and completely re-built by me, this is my new repeating crossbow in action.
The Chu Ko Nu is an amazing piece of engineering. It is a semi automatic crossbow that holds ten shots, and is rather unique in the archery world. The bolts are without fletching, easy to produce and inexpensive. Typically regarded as a peasant’s weapon, it could be used by anyone.
