I mean MinST.
And rifles are not shaped even vaguely like crossbows. A rifle of equal length to a high powered crossbow will be much less bulky because it doesn't have to have a wide prod that extends to both sides.
We can see that the GURPS Crossbow in the
BASIC SET is only 6 lbs., but still Bulk -6, whereas rifles of that weight are usually much more handy.
What I'm trying to figure out is how
much bulkier is the crossbow? How much does the inconvenient shape affect Bulk?
