The OSS made two sizes of crossbow. In GURPS terms, they both do 1d imp (2), if you use the cinematic damage scale from The Deadly Spring (Pyramid #3/33, Low-Tech). The realistic damage scale makes them even less effective. You might be able to add +1 with Fine-quality bolts.

They didn't become widely-used, and this makes some sense under GURPS: you need a different skill to use them, and they don't do enough damage.
