👉 The Venice Weapon, also known as the "Venezia," is a unique and historically intriguing weapon from 15th-century Venice. It's essentially a crossbow with a distinctive, curved wooden stock and a long, narrow bow made from animal sinew. This weapon was favored by Venetian soldiers for its compact size, ease of use, and deadly accuracy. Unlike traditional crossbows, the Venice's bow could be drawn with one hand, making it highly maneuverable in close combat. The weapon was often used by the Venetian navy and infantry, particularly during sieges and skirmishes. Its design allowed for rapid firing and could pierce armor, making it a formidable tool in the hands of skilled Venetian archers.
