A guy actually went and made his own version with nothing but medieval tools and materials and he mounted it on a powerful medieval style long bow, so it definitely would have been possible for an ancient blacksmith or carpenter to put something like this together

IIRC the Chinese had a crossbow with something like a magazine

Slight mass increase in return for mass production of effective low skill soldiers? Isn’t this why guns became popular so quickly?

I disagree, this is essentially a repeating crossbow and takes about the same training as a crossbowman, very little. And it's got a magazine. And it has assisted draw.

While he makes a fair point here I think he misses the fact that this bow, while it wouldn’t be all that useful for lifelong archers or highly skilled archers, it would be insanely useful for less experienced archers. As it basically let’s an novice archer fire at stupid high rates which would be really useful

The Chinese repeating crossbow appeared as early as the 4th century BC. It couldn't penetrate armor and later writings said it was only useful against robbers.

Joerg was able to build it with material used in medieval era. Where this would've been used is in place of arming many an average soldier to fire a volley of arrows, getting accurate by volume. As stated, it wouldnt outpace masters of the bow, but it would be an easy-to-use option to get more arrows out than the crossbow could get its powerful bolts.

If he was a blacksmith in the days of king and queens everywhere he would have been well paid cause he would make it easy af to arm the masses for archery with very little training, don't have to be accurate if you have 500 people shooting arrows that wouldn't have been fired otherwise

I could see this used with 100 men behind a castle wall shooting half of the arrows in the magazine and tricking the enemy to believe you had much more men

It sits in a unique spot in comparison to other bow technology. Not as strong a crossbow, faster than a regular bow in sperzt, is more complex then just a bow, has some user friendly capabilities like the handle you can grip with your front hand, it's a lot of factors that makes it hard to say if and how it would have be used

In an Army composition of Knight +Archer + Squire-team, the Squire would arm the Knight befor battle, set up the Sige Shield for the Archer, then take cover behind the shield, reload one bow while the Archer was shooting the first.
