Ming military manuals have pretty terrible illustrations overall. A sensible swivel mount should look like the one in Bai Zi Chong.<br /><br />The chains are probably used to supress the recoil of the cannon. Since crossbow doesn't exert as much recoil, it doesn't need it.<br /><br />All reconstructions of multiprod crossbow I've seen can pivot on the frame.春秋戰國https://www.blogger.com/profile/14961602507085597255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776482547357658591.post-16105259493984003262019-07-28T23:34:21.309-07:002019-07-28T23:34:21.309-07:00Can someone explain how these swivel-mounted syste...Can someone explain how these swivel-mounted system worked or at least (if some aren't) why they are built upon a framework with chains connected to the beams? I am looking at this, <br />the Fei Yun Pi Li Pao (飛雲霹靂砲) <br />http://greatmingmilitary.blogspot.com/2016/11/fei-yun-pi-li-pao.html<br />and the Du Wu Shen Yan Pao (毒霧神煙砲) <br />http://greatmingmilitary.blogspot.com/2016/11/du-wu-shen-yan-pao.html<br /><br />and I can't make any sense of the diagrams.<br /><br />Probably another question alongside this is, in the case these worked, why weren't they applied to the multi-prod crossbows?<br /><br />Cheers.Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258715787626452780noreply@blogger.com
