[[quoteright:250:]

Ideally we'd show a picture of crossbow actually shooting repeatedly.

The only I could find sofar is from Berserk and isn't awfully clear.

Yeah, that one's a bit too busy for my liking.

The markup to use:

Less distraction in the background but still not great as the crossbow isn't very clear.

To be honest, that looks vaguely like an odd gun to me.

Better at showing the bow less good at showing 'repeater'

Good, but I don't think it's as clear as the one on the other page.

It looks cool, but it also looks too much like a repeating crossbow. A crossbow where you have to pull a lever for each shot.(Ie a crossbow that is just as automatic as a pump-action shotgun.)

Which are a real thing, if we want to count it.

But given the point of the trope is pretty much supposed to be unrealistic use of automatic crossbows, I feel like that's not the best route to go down. And Van Helsing's drum barrel is pretty unrealistic.

Van Helsing still wins out in my mind.

I'm still going with 21. Being in color is a huge plus over the manga suggestions.

That's enough of a consensus for 21, overall. It's up, potholed, and tagged, and the FFVI and Berserk pics are on the Image Links page. I made a slight tweak to the current caption so it wouldn't wrap; keep, come up with something new, or go without?
