Karil's crossbow

Karil's crossbow is a Two-handed crossbow ranged weapon that is part of Karil the Tainted's set of barrows equipment. To wield the crossbow, players require a Ranged level of 70. It requires ammunition called bolt racks. Both the Karil's crossbow and Karil's pistol crossbow are the only crossbows to use bolt racks.

Being part of Karil's barrows set, if it is wielded along with all of the other pieces of equipment in Karil's barrows set the player receives a special effect. On successful attacks against a player, there is a chance that it may temporarily lower that player's magic level. Like all Barrows items this weapon, and its ammunition, cannot be made using the Fletching skill. Additionally, Karil's crossbow is only tradeable when undamaged or fully broken.

Trivia

 * Even though Karil's crossbow equipped with bolt racks has a higher damage rating than a crystal bow, the crystal bow appears to hit higher.
 * Karil's crossbow seems to be based on the real life (諸葛弩), an ancient Chinese crossbow that used a rapid fire system.
 * Karil's crossbow appears to have originated from the Eastern Lands as its ammunition is sold by an Eastern Lander named Ak-Haranu.
 * This was the only hand-held weapon in the game to feature a magazine until the release of the Blisterwood stake-thrower crossbow.
