The CC4 Tactical Combat Crossbow is a low-tech solution to a high-tech problem. Initially a traditionally-inspired hunting tool under the name of the CC Huntsman Crossbow, certain groups began modifying it with silencers, improved tension fibers and custom bolts. Mercenaries then got whiff of the enhanced crossbows, and tested them. Urging from the mercenary community influenced Core Complexion into developing new versions intended for military use. Using advanced materials, the CC2 and CC3 crossbows were developed. These were found to be ineffective for military use and unappealing to hunters and the projects were soon discontinued. Eventually, new technology became public knowledge that allowed the Crossbow to become much more powerful and silent. The CC4 was soon released by Core Complexion. Unlike previous models, the CC4 version loaded automatically and fired much faster, much heavier projectiles silently. The Crossbow Bolt can carry a large variety of payloads, including a Hostile Nanite Injector, an Explosive Warhead, or a Sabot. Hostile Nanite Injection Bolts interrupt enemy electronics and cause damage over time, Explosive Bolts cause area of effect damage allowing for long-range bombardment, as well as dealing extra damage to vehicles on a direct hit. Sabot Bolts fire a sabot into the target on contact, having a faster projectile speed and dealing heavy damage to infantry but not against vehicles.
Crossbows are specialized situational weapons and are not intended for general use.

As I have said before, it's not intended to be a general-purpose weapon. |

If you want a single shot silenced side arm call it a "Rail Pistol" don't insist with medium - age weapons.
For one, yes I do.
And for two, railguns are anything but silent. |

Then why do we have assault rifles, pistols and sniper rifles?
Further more, I have yet to see a crossbow used in the Call of Duty series, though I'm not a huge fan so maybe I missed it. |

It might be worth noting that today's crossbows already have similar penetration power to current firearms. With a stronger, more tense fiber and magnetic assistance, plus a very heavy bolt loaded with nanite injectors or explosives, it is very likely that it could penetrate quite well. |

I just looked it up. The only crossbows in Call of Duty are in Black Ops, and they aren't semi-auto or EM-assisted.
Yes, I had to look it up. I don't play CoD or Battlefield or anything like that. Well, except for once, and it sucked. |
