Machine Crossbow

This is a continuation on the crossbow theme. The previous version was based on the traditional idea of what a crossbow could do, albeit in a fantasy style. It could only fire one shoot at a time and required the standard, slow reloading technique. I wanted to explore further and mix the modern notions of machine guns but still set it in the medieval era. So some sketches featuring levers, handcranks, flywheels and crossbow-bolt magazines...
