A lot of luminaries back then decried the sub as a sneaky and uncivilized method of killing people.

Even way before that, the use of the crossbow was judged by many to be inhumane.

I still decry the sub as a nasty and sneaky way of killing people. Just look at all the fat in those sandwiches.

The elite didn’t like the crossbow because it was cheap, a peasant farmer could learn to use it in a couple of hours, and the bolt would slide right through some fancy pants knight’s plate armor.

The elite have never like us commoners well armed.
