About the Spring Bat
The Spring Bat is a modern invention. Designed by rebels in the formative years of the United Cities, it's easy to build and designed to have the power to punch through the heavy armour of dominating military forces. It pays for this with short range and poor accuracy.In-game description
Crossbows are the only ranged weapons a character can carry; they need bolts of the matching type, and the Crossbows skill sets accuracy, reload speed and rate of fire. Source: Kenshi Wiki
