A crossbow is a type of bow consisting of a horizontal limb assembly mounted  
on a stock that shoots projectiles, called bolts or quarrels. The medieval  
crossbow was called by many names, most of which derived from the word  
ballistics, a torsion engine resembling a crossbow in  
appearance.Historically, crossbows played a significant role in the warfare  
of East Asia, Europe and the Mediterranean. The invention of the crossbow  
caused a major shift in the role of ranged weaponry among armies
