Why China’s Troops Still Use Crossbows

为什么中国军队还在使用弩？

The modern day Chinese People’s Liberation Army, still uses crossbows and they’re not the only force still using them either. Take a look at this Russian soldier in Ukraine using a bow to shoot an arrow with a grenade strapped to the tip.

现代中国人民解放军仍在使用弩，而且他们也不是唯一使用弩的军队。在乌克兰的俄罗斯士兵用弓射箭，箭尖上绑着一枚手榴弹。

以下是外国网友的评论：

And yeah, they're pretty darn quiet compared to most firearms.

与大多数枪支相比，弩使用起来非常安静。

Fun fact: US special forces also still use crossbows. It may be a literal ancient weapon, but that there remain some uses of crossbows is testament to the quality of the weapon in concept.

有趣的事实：美国特种部队还在使用弩。这可能是一种古老的武器，但它仍然有一些用途，证明了这种武器的质量。

A minor point of clarification: China was unified by the Qin (秦) dynasty around 221 BC while making prodigious use of crossbows; the Qing (清) dynasty began with the Manchurian conquest in 1644.

澄清一点：中国在公元前221年左右由秦朝统一，同时大量使用弩；清朝始于1644年

The Chinese were using military crossbows in 7th Century BC

中国人在公元前7世纪就开始使用军用弩了

About 30 years ago, a murder was done in SoCal of someone who was killed with an arrow in their home.  It remains unsolved.

大约30年前，南加州发生了一起谋杀案，有人在家中被箭射死，案子仍未破。

By this logic, the UK army should keep a special unit of longbowmen.

按照这种逻辑，英国军队应该保留一支特殊的长弓队。

Crossbows, bows, trebuchets… we are returning to our roots

弩、弓、投石机……我们正在回归本源

Some additional reasons: They are more silent than silenced firearms. You can launch grappling hooks with them. Xbows have more range the bows (compound x bow vs compound bow).

还有一些其他的原因：它们比消声武器更安静，可以用它们发射抓钩。十字弓的射程比一般的弓更远。

Well IDF uses trebuchets apparently, so why not crossbows :)

以色列国防军显然使用了投石机，为什么不使用弩呢？

You talk 'bout bows and arrows, but Brazilian army also still uses blowguns for guerrilla tactics into the rainforest!

And, let's not forget Mad Jack Churchill, who scored the last recorded kill with bow and arrow during wartime!

你说的是弓箭，但巴西军队仍然使用吹箭筒在雨林中打游击！

还有，我们不要忘记疯狂的杰克·丘吉尔，他在战争期间用弓箭完成了最后一次有记录的杀戮！

So I googled the thing in Chinese and it appears that the most units that use crossbows are members of the armed police. They use it mainly because of the “silent kill” feature

使用弩的大部分部队是武警部队，主要是因为其“无声杀戮”功能

TheMightyTengu

As someone who practices medieval martial arts I can tell you these old weapons are just as deadly today as they were then.

我练习中世纪武术，我可以告诉你们在今天这些古老的武器和当年一样致命。

I very much disagree that crossbows are simpler to maintain than firearms. Simple crossbows yes (non-compound ones), but modern crossbows? You need specialized equipment to restring it, can't be done in the field, and strings do break, especially when they get wet! You need to take very good care of the string, any dirt on it can make it fail within a few shots. And if it fails while fully drawn or you dry-fire it, the limbs will very likely also be damaged.

我不同意弓弩比枪支更容易维护保养的说法。简单的弩（非复合弩）更容易保养，但现代弩呢？你需要专门的设备来重新装弦，这在野外是做不到的，而且弦会断裂，尤其是当它们被弄湿的时候！你需要非常小心地保养弦，上面的任何污垢都会使它在几次射击后断裂。如果它在拉满的时候断了，或者空射的时候，你的四肢也很可能会受伤。

I have a lot of respect for modern day Mongolian archers who can accurately shoot a traditional bow from a moving horse, and with a surprisingly fast fire rate. YouTube it!

我很佩服现代蒙古弓箭手，他们可以在奔跑的马背上准确地射出传统的弓，而且射速惊人。

Coming soon, crossbow equipped drones.

装备弓弩的无人机即将问世。

Lieutenant Colonel Jack Churchill, often referred to as "Mad Jack."  was a British Army officer who famously carried a longbow, bagpipes, and a Scottish broadsword into battle.

杰克·丘吉尔中校，常被称为“疯子杰克”，是一名英国陆军军官，他以携带长弓、风笛和苏格兰大刀参加战斗而闻名。

The dagger point on a hi-power crossbow pierces a soft body armour.

强弩上的箭头可以刺穿柔软的防弹衣。

I've used a crossbow for deer hunting for several years now.  Not a very fancy or expensive one, but a good one that pushes 370 fps. I've been extremely impressed with just how accurate it is, how hard it hits, and how fast it puts down a deer.  The bolts punch clean through the animal at pretty much any angle, and even a shot I didn't think was an ideal placement, the deer didn't run further than 50 yards.  They punch so hard and fast that I expect a person that was shot through the chest wouldn't realize they were even shot at first, and by the time they did know something was wrong they wouldn't be able to do much screaming.  

我用弓弩打鹿已经好几年了。不是很贵，但可以达到每秒370英尺。我对它的精准，打击的力度，以及打倒鹿的速度印象深刻。箭头几乎穿过了鹿，即使是我认为不是理想位置的一枪，鹿也跑不了50码。速度非常快，力度很大，我想一个被射中胸部的人一开始都不会意识到自己被射中了，而当他们意识到出了什么问题时，他们也尖叫不出来了。

Arrows were used in Yugoslav civil war to penetrate sandbags. Bullets use blunt force to create damage, and they tumble and deform. This makes things like sand bags optimal for stop bullets.

Arrows go through sand bags and the like with ease. Arrows also go through bullet proof vests.

在南斯拉夫内战中，箭被用来穿透沙袋。子弹使用钝力造成伤害，它们会翻滚变形。这使得沙袋之类的东西成为阻挡子弹的最佳工具。而箭很容易穿过沙袋之类的东西，箭也能穿透防弹背心。

They're getting prepared to live up to Einstein's quote: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones".

他们正准备应验爱因斯坦的名言：“我不知道第三次世界大战会使用什么武器，但第四次世界大战肯定使用棍棒和石头。”

MarcIverson

As an air rifle fan, I just wanted to mention that while cold weapons make less noise, the actual impact can still be pretty noisy! So maybe you kill a sentry and nobody is close enough to hear you fire ... but that doesn't mean the impact can't be heard from a good bit away.

作为气步枪的粉丝，我只想说，虽然冷兵器的噪音更小，但实际的撞击仍然会很吵！所以也许你杀了一个哨兵，没有人靠近听到你射击……但这并不意味着从很远的地方就听不到撞击的声音。

"military grade" = lowest quality accepted by DOD.

“军用级”=国防部接受的最低质量。

x3roxde

an arrow can go through a sandbag that would otherwise stop a small caliber bullet.

箭可以穿过沙袋，但沙袋能挡住小口径子弹。

John Travolta: Would you mind not shooting at the thermonuclear weapons

China: Ok. We guard nukes with crossbows from now on.

约翰·特拉沃尔塔：能不能别朝热核武器开枪？

中国：好的，从现在起，我们用弓弩保卫核武器。

bugstomper4670

A crossbow bolt, when fired will penetrate kevlar body armour, designed for stop bullets.

弓弩发射的箭能穿透用于阻挡子弹的凯夫拉防弹衣。

joejohnson4183

And crossbows have been used for decades for poaching as they make no noise .

几十年来，弓弩一直被用于偷猎，因为它们不会发出声音。

Good timing for this vid considering the IDF was seen using bows with fire arrows and trebuceths with burning balls at the lebanon border

考虑到以色列国防军在黎巴嫩边境使用带火箭的弓和带火球的投石机，这个拍得恰逢其时

FarmerDrew

Some of us hunters know that the bow is the only way to outsmart a very clever animal that knows the smell of cordite.

一些猎人知道，只有用弓箭才能智胜聪明的动物，一些动物闻得出火药的味道。

harizyet

Zero noise, no heat signature, retrievable "rounds". I don't think in a modern day firefight it would be useful in a direct conflict, but in a tactical situation, catching an enemy by surprise, I can see how it might be preferred over a pistol.

零噪音，无热信号，可回收“子弹”。我不认为在现代交火中，它能在直接冲突中发挥作用，但在战术情况下，出其不意地抓住敌人，我认为它可能比手枪更受欢迎。
