well it is easier to just type it in the internet instead of asking me... but i will tell you it is a repeating crossbow A repeating crossbow is a crossbow where the separate actions of stringing the bow, placing the bolt and shooting it can be accomplished with a simple one-handed movement while keeping the crossbow stationary. This allows a higher rate of fire than a normal crossbow: there is a magazine containing a number of bolts on top of the bow, and the mechanism is worked by moving a rectangular lever forward and backward. More complex ancient designs such as the Polybolos worked with a chain drive instead
