About the Tooth Pick

A cheap and lightweight weapon from the swamps. It's not very powerful, but it can be used to spray an opponent with bolts at close range before switching to a sword.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
