Compound Crossbow

The Compound Crossbow is a class of ranged weapon that uses the tension of a string to launch arrows with deadly force. As opposed to the long bow, which relies on the user's strength to provide the needed tension, the crossbow uses a trigger and locking mechanism that enables it to be fired more like a rifle. The advanced pulley mechanism on this modern crossbow makes it easier to use and more deadly than older crossbows.
