However, this type of repeating crossbow is complex to manufacture. Even with regular maintenance, its failure rate is relatively high, and it frequently suffers from jammed arrows that fail to fire.
In addition, the shooting range and accuracy of the repeating crossbow are inferior to those of ordinary crossbows. It has higher demands on the arrows and wastes them extremely quickly.
It was precisely because of these shortcomings that the military did not equip this repeating crossbow on a large scale.
