Crossbow – A crossbow was a commonly used weapon in Ancient Chinese militaries. It was a main limb constructed with a stock and was made to shoot projectiles called bolts (small arrows). It also had a trigger mechanism near the stock and a bow at the front with a high tensile strength cable that could be put under a large amount of stress.
Bow – A bow (Gong in Chinese) is a ranged weapon used by ancient Chinese military. It can vary as a long bow or a recurve bow. Both types can have a devastating amount of power. It is usually constructed of wood and has a tight cable between both of the ends of the limbs that can fire arrows great distances. They were the Sniper Rifles of ancient China.
Spear – A long pole with a blade at the end. It was a mid-ranged weapon used to throw and to stab.
Dao/giang/jian - Dao is a type of single-edged Chinese sword primarily used for slashing and chopping, often called a broadsword in English translation because some varieties have wide blades. In China, the dao is known as one of the four major weapons, along with the stick or staff, qiang (spear), and the jian (sword)
Katana – A long bladed sword made for slashing and has a very sharp blade.
