Crossbow / Self-firing trap

This weapon is probably a rare form of a self-firing trap of a self-firing trap, which probably goes back to Chinese influence. The bow stick is guided through a hole at the front end of a rifle-shaped stock. The string on the bow stick was tensioned by a lever-like release mechanism. The arrow lay in a tube in the upper part of the shaft.
