Crossbow
SuperHalf-Life's own, as it ships.
A flying bolt that bursts where it lands, or an instant 120 through the scope. The scoped shot is the one that counts.
Bought for a Lambda study on tranquillising Xen fauna. The study ended the week someone fitted it with explosive bolts and a better scope.
How to use it
Scoped it's an instant 120. Unscoped the bolt flies and bursts, good on a corner.
