===Crossbow===

Your standard, run-of-the-mill crossbow.

The bigger, rifle-sized brother of the Handbow. The Crossbow offers greater tensile strength, which means longer range and higher penetration than their little ilks.

They are often regulated to mere hunting weapons, as their silence and simplicity offers an alternative than the large explosive sound from a [[Musket]], [[Blunderbuss]] or a [[Stub Rifle]].

They are, however, not very common in war, but are sometimes seen with rebellious street gangs or irregular troops. Often they are developed with an automatic draw mechanism which allows for a much faster reload, but it is impossible to move and reload at the same time, making it a cumbersome weapon. It can be affixed with a scope for better accuracy, and its silence still makes it somewhat popular amongst scouts.
