>>64180821That shit was made for women, primarily as home defense, due to how ridiculously weak they were.

Or perhaps more accurately, smaller tits are more common in warmer climates. Something to do with cooling the body, and winter fat reserves perhaps, plus better nutrition (average Asian tit sizes now resemble early 20th century European because of improving nutrition)And historically not only is China poor, the most populous parts of China are all at the same latitude as fucking Georgia, and below. Hence most chinese girls would be better adapted to warm weather, ie have slimmer bodies and smaller tits.
>>64180920>GeorgiaThe state not the country
>>64180837
>>64180916Men used them as well. It's a weapon that was best used in home defence and sieges.
>>64180821Heh. The gweilo couldn't have possibly replicated such an advanced piece of weaponry, as one can observe from their crossbows.
>>64180821LmaoIn the background an angry Chinese Legalist would approach because you have a 15 bolt magazine and you sawed down the hip-brace.
>>64180821>漢服 and not 汉服-10 social credit score, please refrain from using counter revolutionary characters.
>>64180821>Snipes you with 300lbs crossbow with ironsights
>>64183552>300lbsHandheld crossbows didn't get to that level until Europeans started making them with steel.
>>64183610The Chinese crossbows were literally warbows mounted onto a stock, and since people can deadlift more weight, they developed 300lbs bows specifically for their crossbows.
>>64183631>they developed 300lbs bows specifically for their crossbows.implessive, may i see it?
>>64183552>make some scratches on the trigger>unwieldy inaccurate piece of shit magically transforms into sniper wonder weapon>countless chinkshills pretend china hasn't been dominated by foreign invaders for all of its history
>>64183631Without a more complex mechanism you still have to physically pull back 300 pounds to cock it.
>>64183854Deadlifting 300 pounds is quite normal for a fit young adult male who spends every day outside doing heavy activities and eats well.
>>64183881Anon we are talking about the historical Imperial Chinese army.
>>64183631ah yes, a little known fact is that superior chinese woodworking technology allowed them to create what europeans could only achieve using steel bows
>>64183631Chinese Warbows were around 100 pounds, which is decent but not 300. There's some that get into the low to mid 200s but were seen as basically the extreme minority.
>>64180843IMAGINE
>>64183916>There's some that get into the low to mid 200sthere's none, the world record bow weight is 200lbs.
>>64184013There are Chinese bows documented at up to 240 pounds but there's no physical remains of one.
>>64184032These are either a complete fabrication or filed artillery. Such a bow would be physically impossible for a human to draw.
>>64183552>>64183610>>64183631>>64183916>>64184013I've seen theories that the supposedly absurd high draw Chinese longbows were drawn with the entire body while lying flat, or affixed to a post and loaded by two or three men.
>>64184043https://youtu.be/dVIRGKOc8yI?si=VCL0g8zMeJdq91AETechnically its possible to make one that strong but it requires quite advanced knowledge of wood laminating and as you said its ridiculous to pull back.
>>64184055https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27R-lyyLB8This vid actually makes the 300 pound claim make more sense, as its a bow that was cocked on the ground like >>64184046 says. These aren't self defense crossbows like some of the pics showing 50-100lb bows but war crossbows.
>>64184043>Such a bow would be physically impossible for a human to draw.Maybe for a willow armed faggot like you, anon.
>>64184075I'm sure there are millions of chinks that can prove their warrior genes by beating the world record any day now, they just choose not to, for ... reasons.
>>64184070>has to tie the bow to his feet and push down with his legs extended rather than the purported deadlift technique they always deflect to>this somehow proves that chink crossbows with even more outlandish claimed draw weights aren't a complete fabrication that topped out at 120lbs, same as their warbows
>>64183909European steel bows were actually terrible. Even compared to their own wood bows.
>>64184075Oh sure i am totally going to believe 4 ft tall scrawny manlets eating a fistful of rice every day could totally pull twice their weight not once, but at least 30-40 times in a row as bowmen are supposed to
>>64180920>better adapted to warm weather, ie have slimmer bodies and smaller tits.A Mexican has entered the conversation.

>>64184075> t.
>>64184043why? there are modern hobbyists who can draw 200 lbs. in a society where people practice archery as part of their profession or class expectation, and drawing from a much larger population, we would expect some rare examples of people drawing 20% heavier than the top modern hobbyist.
>>64183793You just did, retard.
>>64184043>>64189398you can find videos of the current record holder, mark stretton. he's a burly guy, but he doesn't have a particularly large frame nor is he particularly muscular. he looks like your average strongfat tradesman. 200 lbs draw weight is not the peak of human potential. archery in general is extremely niche. heavy poundage warbow archery even moreso. no reason to believe that a rare historical specimen could not pull more.
>>64180920>You have to understand that big tits are something of a cold weather adaptation for humans.then why do so many Mediteranians have them?
>>64189450that bow is 60lbs tops. again, may i see it?

>>64180916Lots of housewives fought in the Second Opium War, huh?
>later, OP was judged to be illegally fighting during an Auspicious day, and per the legalist interpretation was beheaded (along with his entire family) for this disruption of Harmony of Heavens and Earth
>>64190112>beheadedOP wishes. It's 誅連九族 via 凌遲 time
>>64189516it was white men like saxton pope and his brother who noted the extreme draw weights of some chinese/manchu bows and claimed that no white man could draw them. obviously this is because white people hadn't been training to pull heavy poundage bows for hundreds of years while there were still chinese doing it even in the 19th century.
>>64190112finally i get to post this
>>64183881>manlets that either starved all their life or only ate rice
>>64190490>it was white men like saxton pope and his brother who noted the extreme draw weights of some chinese/manchu bows and claimed that no white man could draw them.implessive and totally real ching chong
>>64189462I thought Joe Gibbs beat him a few years ago.
>>64183881No it fucking isnt, lmao. You are severely overestimating people
>>64183916Interesting, did they need a lot of armour penetration? Cultures who fought without armour such as the Comanche had much lighter warbows, but fired much faster instead.
>>64184307>Mexico City elevation: 2 km above sea level>Shanghai: 4 metersAlso they have an obesity problem>>64189493>why do so many Mediteranians have them?Nutrition. And even then south Italians and south French were traditionally flatter.And to repeat myself: most of China's population lived below fucking Cairo's latitude.
>>64194659>Cultures who fought without armour such as the Comanche had much lighter warbows, but fired much faster instead.>insteadThat's cope. Everyone with the resources to train people to use bows with draws over 80 pounds did so, except for those who doubled and tripled down on slings or something else equally autistic and powerful.
>>64194933Yep, if you're not defeating armor then you're using lightweight flight arrows for range instead, which can be shot further using a heavier bow. Turkish and middle eastern bows invested heavily into that.
