@justAwatermelon13 Even better would be an elite crossbow unit.

@KnightofAshes Having shot both, as in bows and crossbows.

@sushanalone Crossbows tend to have a shorter range compared to longbows. Also, they have a shorter power stroke compared to bows which means it needs a considerably heavier draw for the same power. At a short distance crossbows release more kinetic energy making them deadly at about 20-50 yrds. A better modern analogy is a semi automatic rifle: longbow, pump action shotgun: crossbow. Having shot both, accuracy is about the same. Bows take far more practice to make a consistently accurate shot.

Just because you're shit with a longbow does not mean the Longbow itself is shit.
-
how much does all that armor cost together?
-
it isnt a good comparision to compare a crossbow with the long bow imo.Longbows were best employed en-masse and worked like a machine gun because of higher rate o fire, while the cross bow was more like a sniper rifle, powerful, long ranged and slow to load.But the fact that low training and upkeep required fro crossobows and the fact that they were superior while defending fortifications eventually made them more popular.

@BloodskullMannoroth its was more expend in the early middle age like 11th-12th century.
-
@justAwatermelon13 Yeah but it took years for en archer to be properly train and just some days for a crossbowman. There is also the cost : the crossbowman equipment is more expensive but the man himself isn't. So you can recruit more people, more quicly, for the same result..

This series looks very similar to the Weapons that Made Britain series in the UK.
-
@justAwatermelon13 Both had their advantages and disadvantages.
