What might have been the typical mix of bow and crossbow units for Warring States or Qin forces?
Might bows and crossbows have been combined in the same units, much as the Japanese combined bows and arquebuses almost two millenia later, where the faster-shooting bow could cover the slower, yet more damaging weapon while it was being reloaded?
To the extent that there can have been some bias, owing to recent or historical looting, what does archaeology tell us about the mix of arrow and bolt heads, if not about the mix of bows and crossbows themselves? For example, what mix was found at the Terracotta Army site?
Xiexie!
