I recently questioned some one else (who will remain unnamed) as to a mater of them claiming my opinion / questioning their train of thought was disrespectful instead of just part of conversation and they ban me from all there posts instead of pointing out what I said that they considered disrespectful and furthering the conversation, which conversations about D&D is why I thing we are all here. I seem to get misunderstood a lot because I am weird so I try to lean on the side of "if it sounds like they are being a jerk, maybe I read it wronge?" ... Part wrong.... is good enough, lol.Well, Mine was sold as a "small game hand crossbow" it does have a spot for a scope and I believe it would kill someone but I have no idea what the poundage is. That said I have ... changed interests... not sure if changed is the right word... I have always loved swords more but I was not aware HEMA was a thing until about a year ago and hitting a defenseless post with a sword was not as interesting as shooting a paper target on a bail of hay... Hitting another person with sword who hits back and no one (usually) actually gets hurt kind of makes the crossbow boring.Any way, I don't really study crossbows and just started REALLY learning about swords but from a historical "how does it work" prospective you have peeked my curiosity on the subject. ...google search... Found one with a looking mechanic similar to mine... but its full size I think. So this might work they way I am talking but you suspect the draw would be too hard to pull with two fingers the way I did mine, and it does not have the loading bar which makes mine easier.  Here is an image of one almost just like mine, but mine is gray. <a href="https://uncrate.com/assets_c/2011/04/medieval-crossbow-thumb-960xauto-12893.jpg" target="_blank">Modern version</a>Here is a crossbow with a similar lock and kind of what I was thinking of. <a href="http://Old style" target="_blank">https://uncrate.com/assets_c/2011/04/medieval-crossbow-thumb-960xauto-12893.jpg</a>I would love a visual if you can find one like your talking about it just for perspective.... please... I did see some with crank but I closed the tab without thinking to grab the link but obviously that style would not work.You makes some great points and it does seem that the creators of D&D are in agreement with some if not all of what you said, guessing by the errata Oofta found:"Ammunition (p. 146). Loading a onehanded weapon requires a free hand"Your welcome... don't ask me to do the other stats I thought about it already and I got nothing. lol. I for half a second thought it would be cool to try and stat me out in D&D but I think I would be better off just letting my friends vote on how they see me as a character...   Str 13 , Dex 10, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 6, Cha 2 .... just guessing. lolEdit: I was trying to remove the picture and put links only to save space, if anyone know how do/undo that let me know I will. I deleted the attachement statement and its still there so obviously that was not the right way. lol</blockquote>
