From the subject, you can tell I know zero about crossbows.

Is there such a thing as a crossbow that automatically reloads an arrow after firing? If so, can you make a recommendation?

Thanks

Came here to post this. He goes beyond fully semi-automatic with some, but they can be unwieldy.

And, then there is this

Not automatic, but my dad designed and built an auto loading crossbow.Attachment Attached File

I still have one of the early prototypes. Due to his health he never got to finish them completely.Attachment Attached File

My uncle had one that used CO2 to recock the string, but I forget what brand it was.

It was heavy as hell though

Oh god, I remember that movie, and the elf with the recurve shooting about 250 rpm.  Lol, 1980-84, what at time for movies.  Excalibur, Conan the Barbarian, Terminator, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Hawk the Slayer.
