How often do you think of a crossbow has recoil when fired?

I mean, they do, but you'll move even less than the bowstring, which already doesn't move much, because of your greater mass.

They to but I thing the weight of the crossbow itself absorbs much of it.

The sequence gives me proper medieval/renaissance weapons manual vibe. Love it!

Recoil pushes backward, while a crossbow pulls forward on release... so I guess it has "coil". 🙂

Once you've shot one, every time you see a crossbow afterwards.

I always thought the point of the genoese using Shields when they aim was to negate recoil. 😶

IIRC, crossbows do have "recoil" but not how you think, it's slightly pulls you forward and down a few cm because all the energy is moving forward. Similar to just throwing a rock. When the rock leaves your hand, it doesn't push your hand back, you continue the momentum forward.

More about torque than recoil, but essentially correct.
