weapon_crossbow is a model entity available in  Half-Life 2 series. It is a molten rebar crossbow. When first picked up, the player is given 5 bolts. Up to 11 bolts can be carried (including one loaded into the weapon) A roll of bolts can be placed with item_ammo_crossbow. The projectile class is crossbow_bolt with Think() during flight and Touch() for impacts.

Before it is picked up, the crossbow also follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

Bug:The crossbow model will not render in Hammer by default, appearing as an error. To fix the issue, delete the folder Half-Life 2/hl2/models. It contains a broken duplicate of this model, which Hammer fails to load.  [todo tested in ?]
