Crossbow

Overview

The Crossbow is a modern version on an ancient weapon, commonly used by sportsmen and a few special-operations groups. While less popular than compound bows, it has the added benefit of increased armor penetration.[1] Using a winding or cocking device to set it, the crossbow fires shorter, heavier arrows called quarrels and is easier to gain proficiency at since it can be aimed much like a rifle.[2]
