Named for the large Lin Nu Siege Bow, The Nu was an “automatic” repeating Crossbow. Examples of The Nu go back over 2,400 years. The Stock of The Nu was 2 to 3-feet long, with a locked vertical Bow roughly 3-feet long. Made of wood and later reinforced with brass fittings, The Nu had a small wooden box fitted onto The Bow Stock. A “Feeder Grove” linked up a series of Metal Sharpened Bolts, which were “Gravity fed”. A skilled Crossbowman could “lock and fire” up to (10) Bolts. Reproductions show that The Nu had an effective range of 100-yards. The Nu was at the height of it's deployment as a ranged weapon around the 3rd Century AD.
