History lesson #40

My favorite lesson in History 4, up to lesson 40.

My favorite lesson in History 4, up to lesson 40 was the crossbow. The crossbow is easier to use. You can train an army to use crossbows in a week. Bow and arrows take longer to train people to use. Crossbows are easier to fire, for they only have a trigger, instead of pulling the cord on a bow. The crossbow was invented by the Chinese during the warring states period. The crossbow is a machine that shoots small, sharp ammo called bolts. I think crossbows are cool ’cause they are the easier-yet-more-powerful-than-a-bow-and-arrow weapon. Crossbows give you better aim than a bow-and-arrow because they have an area the bolts fire from. Crossbows are usually made of wood. Crossbow bolts can piece heavy armor like a knight’s.
