I have some basic questions about crossbows. I'm re-writing my Top Secret/S.I. game and find the MODERN crossbow data in the game to be incomplete or inaccurate. I realize that the bow, its pull and the bolt are all factors that would realistically affect answers but I'm looking for a generalization for an answer.
1. What would the short (+10 to hit), Medium (+0 to hit) and Long (-40 to hit) ranges be for most MODERN crossbows?
2. What would the short (+10 to hit), Medium (+0 to hit) and Long (-40 to hit) ranges be for most MODERN HAND crossbows?
3. How many seconds does it take to load a regular crossbow and a had crossbow?
4. What accessories are used with crossbows and hand crossbows for loading?
5. How about cost in US dollars for the crossbow and hand crossbow?
