Description

The Polybolos could fire bolt after bolt without ever stopping to reload — a repeating siege weapon built over 2,000 years before the machine gun. Invented by Dionysius of Alexandria, it used a flat-link chain and a hand-cranked magazine to keep launching bolts automatically. Watch how the Polybolos actually worked.
