Woah pal deep breaths, deep breaths it's just a game.

Courier said:I think the most realistic crossbows I've ever seen in a game was in the Mount & Warband series, and if you've ever played one of those games you'll see why you're better off charging the enemy with a machete than trying to use a crossbow.
Highly inaccurate, takes forever to reload, can't move around while reloading, they don't kill people with one bolt unless you hit them in the head, etc.
Edit: Even people who hunt with crossbows in real life only do it for the extra challenge because it's harder.
In the Americas, the Peruvian army (Ejército) equips some soldiers with crossbows and rope, to establish a zip-line in difficult terrain.[43] In Brazil the CIGS (Jungle Warfare Training Center) also trains soldiers in the use of crossbows.[44][45] In the United States, SAA International Ltd manufacture a 150 ft/lb crossbow-launched version of the U.S. Army type classified Launched Grappel Hook (LGH), amongst other mine countermeasure solutions designed for the middle-eastern theatre. It has been successfully evaluated in Cambodia and Bosnia.[46] It is used to probe for and detonate tripwire initiated mines and booby traps at up to 50 meters. The concept is similar to the LGH device originally only fired from a rifle, as a plastic retrieval line is attached.[47] Reusable up to 20 times, the line can be reeled back in without exposing oneself. The device is of particular use in tactical situations where noise discipline is important.[48]
In Asia, Chinese armed forces use crossbows at all unit levels from traffic police to the special force Snow Leopard Commando Unit of the People's Armed Police and the People's Liberation Army. One justification for this comes in the crossbow's ability to stop persons carrying explosives without risk of causing detonation.[54] Furthermore, during the Xinjiang riots of July 2009, crossbows were used alongside modern military hardware to quell protestors.[55] The Indian Navy's Marine Commando Force were equipped until the late 1980s with crossbows supplied with cyanide-tipped arrows, as an alternative to suppressed handguns.[56]
Other people have access to Wiki too bro. Only a couple of them use them like that.
CIGS uses assault and sniper crossbows.

Spetsnaz uses assault and sniper crossbows.
Green Berets uses assault and sniper crossbows.
Greece uses assault crossbows.
Turks use assault crossbows.
Barnett is one of the biggest manufacturers of military crossbows wich are often used as great sniper, counter sniper and ambushing weaponry.
Cyanide tipped crossbows were big with Indian marines as great silent killers.

And none of those people are located anywhere near Las Vegas. Also like I said, I'm sure cyanide-tipped crossbow bolts are real common in the Mojave desert.![]()
Actually for that matter, where would you find ammunition for this unique crossbow? Crossbows are a very uncommon niche weapon, there aren't exactly crossbow bolts lying around all over the desert.

TheDidact said:You don't need cyanide, there are plenty of poisonous alternatives in the Mojave. As for ammo, you could use metal to make bolts.
Mr Krepe said:He knows he's lost! The nerve, and you say he is trolling, what he is doing is coming up with an intelligent argument that you can't counter, so you deem him a troll.
His main point is the complexity that goes into it, which is a valid point. But lots of things in New Vegas are complicated and yet nothing

I agree with The Courier that the crossbow is indeed a complex weapon, does take time to reload, and is really (really) hard to make bolts that are straight enough to actually work in a post-apoc crossbow. But, a weapon skill limit doesn't really stop you from using a gun, so the crossbow could just have a (whatever skill it uses) skill limit, but I don't think a skill limit would work like a real life skill limit, you dig?
