Crossbow

A Crossbow is a weapon consisting of a bow mounted on a stock that shoots projectiles, often called bolts or quarrels. The medieval crossbow was called by many names, most of which derived from the word ballista, a torsion engine resembling a crossbow in appearance.

Historically, crossbows played a significant role in the warfare of East Asia, Europe and the Mediterranean. Today, they are used primarily for shooting sports, hunting, and when shooting in silence is an important consideration. A Horton Scout 125 HD is used by Daryl Dixon through out the whole show. A Stryker Strykeforce 380 crossbow has been taken from Morgan's safe house by Michonne in Clear and Daryl replaces his Horton Scout 125 HD with the Stryker Crossbow as shown in the Arrow on the Doorpost Sneak Peek.
