the term "Fire" should only apply to Firearms that uses gunpowder through a spark igniting a "fire" and an explosions that propells the projectiles. A crossbow, slingshot, dartgun, etc are not firearms, they launch projectiles through the use of a device that produces tension and once the tension is loose or release, the projectile is thrown.

The term "fire" as in fire your weapon is the term nowadays for any weapon that propells a projectile. But since this is a gun site and not a crossbow site, crossbows only deserve an honorable mention at the bottom of the page like cars or knives or a trivia mention, not to be classed as an actual weapon
