* Rate of fire Loaded/unloaded, Loaded which is for two shots and the unloaded is to reload and draw both spans if you only want to reload & draw one for speed you naturally use the least fiddly to do which is the top one and the reload time to do that is the same as a single crossbow of the same power.

*** required strength -3 with a winder but +20s to RoF

| Light Crossbow | 10** | Low | 2d6p | 1 | 10s/60s | 5 | L | 180 | Punching |

* The first figure in the RoF column is the rate firing from the magazine where you are just drawing & feeding a new bolt the second is to reload the magazine completely and draw the bow for the first shot. NB in the manner of bolt action rifles it’s quite possible to have “one up the spout” so adding one to the effective magazine capacity
** Assumes the use of a built in leaver system as the various winder systems are unsuitable to both draw the span and cycle the magazine to reload
