Since a Crossbow is like a rifle combined with a bow does a Crossbow have recoil or kick?
No. A crossbow is more like a bow mounted onto a stock with a trigger for firing. The stock is the only similarity to an actual rifle. Even the largest variation of a crossbow, the ballista, doesn't have any form of recoil. The force of the release of the string is apparent but negligible even in a large ballista.
I am an historic re-enactor and have used both crossbow and ballista.
