Artifice Missile Weapons
Nailbows are essentially firearms. Long nailbows are rifles, usually single shot (repeating, magazine-fed nailbows exist but are most often military weapons). Hand nailbows are pistols, currently available in single, two, and four shot versions (two and four shot hand nailbows are like oversized derringers). Impale effects only grant the choice of two damage rolls rather than secondary impaling effects.
Scatterbows are essentially shotguns. For short range use, they shoot ammunition that consists of 3 - 6 pellets, generally metal. These nasty weapons are mostly the tools of some military units and are quite rare, but are becoming more common in civilian use.
Crossbows are available in light, heavy, magazine-fed repeating, and hand (pistol) versions.
Snapbows are high-powered airguns, currently seen in long and hand (pistol) versions. Impale effects only grant the choice of two damage rolls rather than secondary impaling effects.
