Since before medieval times the crossbow was in warfare. Invented in ancient China the crossbow was used to send arrows long distances. It was modified in the 6th century to a hand held device. Over the years it was used by the Romans and Greeks. Fast forward to now 2011. The crossbow is still in non-official use. It I used as a counter sniper weapon. Obviously there is no flash when fired for a sniper to give up your location. The crossbow has a psychological effect due to its silent kill. The pistol crossbow is used for silent kills in close quarters combat. Jungle units use a grappling attachment for securing zip lines to maneuver over valleys.
