Hey guys, I know that this is not an easy question to answer, but can you tell me the value of the Virtual Masses of the 6 Dan (350 lb) Han Dynasty crossbows?
I know that the ancient crossbows excavated and discovered cannot be used to shoot anymore, but surely SURELY there should have been many testings from the historically accurate replicas by now.
If you do not know the answer for the crossbows then you can talk about any of the ancient Chinese normal bows. I will try to find the additional friction of the crossbow by myself.

Please do provide me with helpful answers. I feel "suicidal" right now after meeting so many obstacles/"dead ends" in my research. I have been to some of the ATARN sites, but have never known that there was an ATARN forum before today. I have even talked with Bede Dwyer, which I see is also a member of this forum, but he is very busy and therefore cannot answer everyone of my questions. If only I could have found this forum first, my research would have gone by quicker.

I thank you for your answers
