Zhiziyumyus

The zhiziyumyus, also known as an ironshooter or ironbow, is a ranged weapon on Ximizhlum. It fires bolts like a crossbow.

To fire it, one has to open the latch near the muzzle and insert a bolt onto the mechanism, then close it. The next step is to crank it until a clicking noise is heard, signaling that the mechanism is in place. The next step is, quite obviously, to aim and pull the trigger, which releases the mechanism, firing the bolt.

As is custom with Ximi weaponry, the zhiziyumyus is ornamental and personalized with things like blessed charms, trophies, carvings, and more.
