The real x-bow bug - this HAS to be fixed

Seeing as the bolts don't hit a far away troop on its foot we can assume it isn't the distance of the bolts but the range of an automated xbow itself

45degree is the max distance. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Same is true for this other guy who was quoting f=ma and saying that force will be lost due to elevation and therefore will cover less distance. He himself forgot about g in that case, which is pulling in -y.

This is simple geometry, it's not even complicated math or physics.

Let's call in the MythBusters !!! :rolleyes: to test it out.
