Unless there is some magic effect going on, a repeating crossbow is still only going to fire with the energy provided by the crank pulling back a string so that thing is firing too hard or too fast.

Uploaded by the same user so gotta be same group, or at least affiliated to them.

I believe someone has said that this user's thing is finding chapters of manga worked on groups that have a presence on here but don't regularly upload to Mangadex (either because of laziness or because they're trying to drive traffic to their sites to leech advertising money or whatever) and whose groups don't have restricted uploader permissions and then uploads them independently. They aren't actually affiliated with any of the groups whose work they put up. They're just saving us from having to visit some garbage/sketchy sites.

Electromaster is doing' the lawd's work, der'.

Seriously, though, not sure how they can upload scans of groups which restrict uploads to their staff who never bother... Always had a suspicion that there was some sort of behind-the-scenes agreement that they (using mod powers) could, seeing as how some groups get updated to the most recent chapter (ex.: Flame Scans), others get updated to the "ten chapters behind" -level (ex.:Reaper Scans), and still others not at all (ex.: Asura Scans).

Regardless of whether my speculation is bullshit or not, we're lucky to have them; it seems like a lot of work.

"The strongest automatic crossbow."
Well, an automatic crossbow wouldn't be that strong compared to what a regular one can be, but it sure can be the strongest of those. The problem is that the lever doesn't provide as much power as the more advanced loading mechanisms crossbows have, and that's more of a limitation than how much draw weight you can construct it with.

It so rare that characters actually point out that bows require a fair amount of strength to us. Actually more than the armours and swords he was comparing with. Crossbows may or may not require a lot of strength.

That piercing power is just magic.

Unless there is some magic effect going on, a repeating crossbow is still only going to fire with the energy provided by the crank pulling back a string so that thing is firing too hard or too fast.
Yeah. I get the impression that some people just look at the draw weight number for a crossbow and compare it to bows. But they need that extra weight to compensate for the short power stroke. A regular bow pulls the arrow much farther back, so the time the arrow can accelerate at release is longer, which requires less power for the same projectile velocity.

For a repeating crossbow to be reloaded that fast it can't require too much effort to reload, so it can't be that powerful. Wouldn't even be comparable to a windlass crossbow, for instance, and those can't be reloaded quickly.

That's for a real repeating crossbow, but we have VAN-SAMA with us.
