Although not as powerful or as accurate as a typical crossbow, it made up for these shortcomings through sheer volume of fire. An archer could fire all ten bolts in 15 seconds and fully reload the magazine in probably less time than it would take to respan an ordinary crossbow.

Sun 4

The Chu Ko Nu is a crossbow in which the separate actions of stringing the bow, loading a bolt, and firing can be accomplished with a simple hand motion. It was the Long-Range weapon of Sun Tzu.

Description

The repeating crossbow was a unique weapon. One of the first repeating weapon ranged weapons the Chu Ko Nu was made most effective when fired in large groups and in large numbers, showing the enemy with many arrows. Not very accurate, with a relativly short range a low power the Chu Ko Nu was not as effective in terms of single shot power as regular bows or other crossbows. However what made it affective with it's repeating capablitys and the fact it's arrows were often dipped in posion.

Uses

Although not as powerful or as accurate as a typical crossbow, it made up for these shortcomings through sheer volume of fire. An archer could fire all ten bolts in 15 seconds and fully reload the magazine in probably less time than it would take to respan an ordinary crossbow. The bolts were also tipped with poison from the wolfsbane plant.

In Show

It was tested against the Steelcrossbow. While the Steelcrossbow was more accurate, more powerful and, had an effective range almost twice that of the Chu Ko Nu, the Chu Ko Nu had rapid fire capabiltiys and a much fast re-load time, allowing ten times as many bolts to be fired in the same amount of time, this coupled with the fact Steelcrossbow failed to pirce Sun Tzu's armor gave it the edge .
