Crossbow

3D Model

A crossbow is a specialized weapon that combines elements of a bow and a firearm. It consists of a horizontal assembly called a prod, which is mounted on a stock or frame. The prod is tensioned using a mechanical device such as a lever or crank, and a string is drawn back and locked into position. When the trigger is pulled, the tensioned string propels a bolt, or quarrel, forward with significant force and accuracy. Crossbows have been utilized throughout history for hunting, warfare, and sport, offering advantages such as ease of use and the ability to hold the drawn position. In modern times, they are commonly used for hunting and recreational shooting activities.
