Crossbows are usually 2-handed ranged weapons. Crossbow-usage is often endemic among Disco Bandits.

Crossbow-Specific Hit Messages:

Oh no, you shot Marvin in the face! Provided that this monster's name is Marvin. In any case, it did X damage. WHACK! WHAMMO! BARF!
You aim and fire. You miss, but the bolt ricochets off a nearby wall (or tree, if you're outdoors,) and hits <it> for X damage. ZAP! BONK! POW!
You clip <it>[sic] wing with the crossbow, dealing X damage. Maybe next time you could clip <its> nails, instead. BAM! BONK! WHAMMO!
You let loose a bolt (not to be confused with loosening a nut) and hit <it> for X damage. BAM! BONK! KERBLAM!
You shoot <it> in the gut for X damage. Harvey Keitel wanders by, and says "Along with the kneecap, the gut is a most painful area a guy can get shot in." Your opponent nods in agreement. BOOF! ZAP! BONK!
You shoot <it> in the shoulder, dealing X damage. Man, that's gotta hurt. ZAP! BARF! BOINK!
