    Pope Innocent III banned crossbows because they allowed peasants to kill armored knights with no training while the knight had received a lifetime’s worth.

    Crossbows are the weapon of the people. The complexity of a weapon’s construction is not an argument against the purpose of its use (see: Kalashnikov).
