Manuballistor Orcius

The basic design of a crossbow gives rise to the arbalest or ‘slurbow’, a much more intricate device complete with a hand-turned cranequin to recock the weapon, and often with a multi-ply arc of laminate wood or bone, driving the projectile. Such a device is much easier to work with, and much more powerful than simpler crossbows; it is also beyond typical orcish manufacture.

Orcs prize any such weapons they can manage to procure, and they invariably end up in the hands of their most cunning archers.
