How does a crossbow work in Dwarf Fortress?
One bolt (per crossbow) will be fired each time the trap is triggered, and when those run out, the trap will signal a “reload” order. A crossbow without bolts will not fire. (* Bows will also work in weapon traps, but that weapon will need to stay loaded with arrows, which dwarves cannot produce.
