CB-9 Exploding Crossbow

The CB-9 Exploding Crossbow is a unique weapon introduced in the Democratic Detonation warbond. It functions as a repeating crossbow which fires exploding bolts at the enemy.
===Role:===
The CB-9 is essentially a "silenced" grenade launcher. The weapon is silent and provided the shooter is not discovered, enemies have a hard time pinpointing the source of the shot. This can be useful for luring enemies into traps or to distract them, though the user should be warned this will put the enemies on alert making them more likely to spot a diver.
By itself, the weapon is reasonably powerful, capable of taking out groups of clustered light infantry and dealing respectable damage against medium-armored ones.
===Notes===
*The CB-9's bolts are impact-triggered, be careful when using them at close-range.
*By angling the weapon, it can be used to bombard enemies from a distance. The silent nature of the weapon makes one less likely to be detected while doing so.
*The bolts have a slow travel time and have a slightly arched flight path. One may need to lead against moving targets.
*The explosion will stun light and medium armored enemies.
*Is more effective against Automatons as it can kill Devastators in a single shot to the head and stun them with body shots. This can also destroy Scout Strider from the front when shot twice in the lower area. 
**Not as effective against Terminids due to it's reload time and low magazine capacity, unless you have a support weapon or sidearm capable of handling fodder enemies, while this is reserved for medium-sized specimens and bug holes.
*The weapon is now capable of destroying fabricators and bug holes. The bolts still need to be angled into the vents of a fabricator to score a kill, however.
