Weapon - Repeating Crossbow
My suggestion for a long bow alternate is a follows:
Rounds: 11
Fire: Slow-Firing Automatic
Damage: 2 per hit (Max 22) + Poison Effect
Essentially like the Longbow from W*rms, used for making ladders, bridges and in combat, this would differ in having a much larger mag size and slow auto-fire allowing for laying larger ladders more quickly and more efficiently as well as fine-tuning ones aim for more guaranteed hits.
Also differing from the W*rms iteration, its attack damage would be extremely low due to its low penetration, perhaps in the vicinity of 2 damage per hit for a max damage of 22 with all bolts hitting, but it could have a poison effect on HEDGEHOGS hit, boosting this somewhat.
Drawbacks could be minor effect from wind, inaccuracy, low damage
The Chinese Repeating Crossbow, also known as the Cho-Ko-Nu, is one of the earliest repeating weapons.
Thanks for reading.
You know, there *is* a weapon suggestion thread.
Esp if the idea is kinda, well... familiar...
