The hand crossbow is the strongest one-handed ranged weapon, allowing for the use of a shield, though it's still a cumbersome weapon in its own right. Its mindelay cannot be brought any lower than 1.0, no matter your skill. Regardless, it's still a potent weapon, much stronger than a sling.

History
- Prior to 0.30, hand crossbows had 17 base damage.
- In 0.29, hand crossbows were made heavier (previous stats: 12 damage, +5 accuracy, 15 base delay), and became designated for later portions of the game. They were affected by the ranged weapons rework that applied to all launchers, including the removal of the dedicated Crossbows skill and bolts. Prior to this version, Hunters and Arcane Marksmen could start with this weapon.
- In 0.15, hand crossbows (as well as arbalests and triple crossbows) were introduced, replacing the standard crossbow.
- In very old versions of Crawl, the hand crossbow was a one-handed ranged weapon which fired darts.
