Pistol crossbow question
I recently got interested in pistol crossbows - or so-called assassin crossbows - as they possibly existed in the early 17th century. I found one example of a modern replica made by Denix that states that it is based on a 17th century original, but that's as much as I know.
Does anyone have images of the original or any other images or info about these small thingies from the said period? Their range, accuracy or any knowledge of how common they were?
Is there anyone making working replicas of these things (the Denix version is apparently non-functional)?
