They engaged in ritual battle, sacrificing half of themselves to Odin in order to get a wind that would blow them out of there.
@@zanderzephyrlistens Actually, it's based on fact. About a millenia ago the Vikings landed in Newfoundland.

Great build, but why didn't you include footage of the arrows or bolts striking the target? You included that clip from film stock at the end, but I think we all would have liked to see the actual down-range results from your creation.
You can see the short, featherless arrows with the padded front, so this was more to show IF it works rather than the precision. For it to have power, there would have to be a bigger wheel or more professionally made crossbows, plus sharp arrows with feathers, do I'm thinking this had the ability to mostly hit a wall, without the power to even give you a bruise. 😂 A big wheel with proper crossbows would probably be quite a lethal contraption... But then, lots of downtime to reload it.

It's basically the same way our science fiction movies have helped inspire real advances
It could easily be fixed though, just have it where you can replace the crossbows, allowing for quicker manual reloading, or one where if you’re prepping in advance you carry all the crossbows preassembled to be slid in at once like a modern weapon, and carry the wheels of death in a wagon.
Knowing davinchi's designs the guy probably had ideas for it to pry the rope back and drop another arrow in using the momentum of the rotation. Main reason I can see for a wheel and not a stacked array which would be WAY smaller

Enemy strategies 1. take cover for 30 seconds. Then attack during reload. 2. Don’t stand in front of the machine/attack from behind. 3. Shoot fire arrows at the operators and machine.
The downward moment of the wheel turning is pushing the bolts towards the ground almost immediately. It would work significantly better if they released on the upturn, then momentum would carry them upward for better range.

Machine guns were invented in 1884

It’s more related to the Gatling gun which was used in the American Civil War
Machine guns are way older than 1884. Organ Guns and Hwachas are centuries older.
