The crossbow is a weapon consisting of a bow mounted on a wooden stock. Originally used in China and eastern Asia, the weapon eventually became popular in Europe. The Crusaders used many crossbows when trying to free the Holy Lands from the Muslims. Crossbows were very effective, and could penetrate the armor of a knight.
