As MythBusters viewers know, Adam Savage LOVES crossbows. At the @metmuseum's Arms and Armor conservation lab, associate conservator Sean Belair takes Adam Savage through a history of this classic weapon, starting with an artifact from the 1400s and spanning a progression of form, functionality and art. Can you guess which crossbow Adam now plans to replicate?
