Note that Compound Crossbows are in HT p.201. Their effect is as for Compund Bows which is a +2 ST for both range and damage. That only gives you +1 Thrusting damage.
It could be for a ST 1 or 2 higher than the user's trading cocking time for another pt of damage.
The gripping hand is this "Sling Shot" tech. If that delivers an honest 440 fps that's higher than anything I've ever heard about and probably double the velocity of a TL2-3 crossbow. 2x velocity would mean 2x damage with another +1 for TL8 arrowheads.
