What does the crossbow mean?

A crossbow consists of a bow body, a bow shaft, a bowstring, an arrow shaft and an arrow cluster. When shooting, you should pull the bow string to locate and shoot the arrow hard. It was widely used in the war between China and Europe in ancient times, and was known as the "king of weapons" because of its long range and high precision.

Modern crossbows have been greatly improved in structure and materials.
