Compound crossbow

The Compound Crossbow
Introduced after the Arbalest, this crossbow has its advantages and disadvantages. The smaller chamber allows for a smaller projectile to be used which has a smaller if not minuscule damage scale. So why use it? The bolts used with this crossbow are usually poisoned, which has severe effects on the target.

Overview
Because of the small bolts that are used, the Compound Crossbow is never used without Poison Bolts This makes it a lot more efficient than the other crossbows as only one or two bolts are needed to neutralise a target. Due to the size of the bolt, the release sound is a lot more quieter than other crossbows which allows for stealth engagements.
