[edit] editted crossbow section

The cho-ko-nu was a semi-automatic anti personel crossbow weapon. Also, I deleted "The military warfare of that time was more involved in melee and cavalry tactics. The secondary reason that archers were never massly deployed was to avoid friendly fire when enemies close in. Range killing was also considered a less and sometimes unchivalrous way of disposing enemies." because I have found numerous sources that said that Chinese armies placed emphasis on missle weapons. The part about "range killing being unchivalrous" applies more to European attitudes towards the crossbow during the medieval ages.

[edit] More Appropriate Name

Shouldn't this be named something else? I can't think of a better title at the moment (It's quite late right now), but I don't think history fits with the spirit of this article. 66.176.244.196 06:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
