Probably from "arbalète"~

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbalest could be from this

This is the name in English, I see ~

ahhh!! final fantasy weapon! thanks! lurker-san!

...Final fantasy weapon~
@Naruin you know it's one of the best-known weapons in the world ?~

Sorry to disappoint you guys my name came from anime: full metal panic MC arms slave.

so a case of anime borrowing European sounding names again

it's either you borrow a good name or make a lousy one. For me I choose the former case.

@Eithne ohh.. no wonder im not sure where i first saw it.. either ff xii or a novel.. @.@

loool full metal panic.. forgot all the names in it already... and to think I frequently watched that when i was a kid.. ＿|￣|○
thx for the info though arbalest-san..

@Naruin I believe that this weapon was invented in China to -500 BC, then use in Greece / Ancient Rome, use as much in Japan as in Korea too ~
Then the middle age in Europe and in the Arab countries ~

@Eithne what a good trivia mate! Try to read CN novel the world online you will have a better understanding of this Defensive Siege weapon of Song Dynasty

Thanks for the compliment ~
I will read it! ~
To be honest, the history of China is so important, and unknown to a European ~
That I do not really know much ~

@Eithne well to be honest I much prefer the history of European knights & Crusader era than the bias Chinese history..

... I can not say, between famines / killing / religious inquisition / various diseases (black plague) ~
I think it's beautiful on paper and again ~

both are interesting though.. they each have their own interesting points.. like the battle between religion and uhmm.. science? in europe and how the hard work of a dynasty's founder is wasted coz of his useless predecessors..

A succession of different empire of different country, Roman -> Germanic -> Mongolian -> English / French -> Germanic, each succeeding empire to another take past improvements for his~
I think that's what differs from the Chinese empire~
