The tape measure is one of the most underappreciated tools that we use in our everyday lives. When you see what's inside of its shell, you'll never look at one the same way. It's fascinating!

I actually wonder if the spring inside a tape measure would work on a crossbow let's say you pull the trigger it releases the string and it pulls a sled attached to the spring coiling it tight and when the looses the bolt it pulls the string back and locks it into placeready to fire again if it works a semi automatic repeating crossbow with no electronic parts is not complicated to build shoots silently perfect for applications such as night ops or hunting the perfect stealth weapon.

I understand that this comment is half a year old, but I wanted to let you know the problem with that. When you release the firing mechanism, it needs energy to go against the coil. If this energy is large enough to pull the spring and fire, the spring isn't strong enough to reset it. If the spring was strong enough to reset it, the crossbow wouldn't fire in the first place. So unless you manually reset the spring each time, it wouldn't work. And at that point, that's just an extra step.

@@Ethan_FPV What if you have a mechanism like in old watches where you crank the coil a bunch? 😄 Like, you'd reload your bolts and give the coil a good dozen cranks. Then when you pull the trigger, the string disengages from the coil and fires. Once the trigger is released, the coil mechanism grips the string back into firing position, a bit like how an escalator takes you up and down the subway. It'd probably be a very chunk crossbow and it might be a bitch to crank. I'm not sure if it'd work but uhhhhh, yeah... 😅

@@Ethan_FPV Oh, I just thought of something!! The coil could be cranked in advance and incorporated into the magazine. Each magazine has its own coil so you don't even have to crank between mags. It'll just take a while to prepare the magazines. Or, there could even be one coil for every bolt packed into each magazine!!!
