The Republic of Vontur is well known for its technological advancements. Along with it, they also have the most advanced and capable weapons in Selyria. Here is one of the weapon series currently in their Arsenal.
The Vonturian Assault Crossbow (VAC) Model is the standard all around type of crossbow that is known for its quick reload time, magazine capacity, and longer range. They are known to be easy to use, and are used by the Vonturian Armed Forces.
The VAC-M1 was the first Semi Auto crossbow ever made, and is one of the commonly used weapons of civilian militias and is the most common smuggled item in The Outback. It is the easiest to produce, and easy to maintain, with its simple mechanics. However, its reload speed is the slowest, at about 5-10 seconds depending on the user. Effective range is 100 meters.
The VAC-M2 is the second version of the VA-Crossbow model that has an upgraded metal frame to have a better lifespan. Its reload speed is upgraded to 3 seconds, and has an effective range of 300 meters.
The VAC-M3 is the newest model line of VAC’s. It has a proper lever system, and has an effective range of 400 meters. It has a loading speed of about 2 seconds, and it can have 12 bolts for effective combat.
The Vonturian Portable Model is the portable version of the VAC. While some of them do not have the magazine capacity, the newer models tend to have such.
The VAC-P2 is an upgraded version of the VAC-P1. It can house 6 bolts for a range of 50 meters. Although the penetrating power is weaker compared to the 1st variant, this is still the more preferred weapon for the Vonturian police.
Recently, it has seen some use by the VSAC thanks to its integrated Nullifier Case to combat against Selyrian Mages.
The Vonturian Arbalest Model is a type of Vonturian Assault Crossbow focused on precision and power. They are the sniper crossbows of the Vonturian Armament, and they pack a heavy punch to compensate for their longer reloading time and heavy weight.
After the XC-176 Prototype (VAC-A1), much has changed in order to create a proper Vonturian Sniper Crossbow. Its range is around 650 Meters, and can only house 1 bolt at a time, making the reload time of about 10-20 seconds depending on the user.
The VAC-A2 is recommended and designed for scouts and hunters, but unlike the first variant, is no longer recommended for snipers. It provides the user with a quiver under the body, and a longer and more flexible wing and slightly longer Flight groove, it also has a crankhandle used for pulling back the cable/serving cable.
The Vonturian Training Model is a type of VAC used for training new recruits on the basics of the VACs.
The VAC-T1 is a model used for training New Recruits on the basics of the VAC-M2 before holding the real thing, it is a lightweight replica of the VAC-M2.
These crossbow models are prototypes, before they are made into actual crossbows. The abbreviations for these models are “XC-[Insert Number],” meaning Experimental Crossbow.
The XC-1812 is a revolutionary crossbow, eliminating the need for limbs, and replacing them with “Micro-limbs” that hold a system called a “Torsion Drive System.” It is an invention of Vivian Eleonora Ciel Willand, the Program Coordinator of WARD, its micro-limbs will allow it to be used virtually anywhere, without obstruction. It is also much more powerful. However, it is currently being tested.
The XC-1928 is an Experimental crossbow similar to the XC-1812, however it eliminates the need for a magazine, and a unique design, having a collaps-able stock that can be turned into a grip.
