Rune mechanical crossbow

The Mechanical Crossbow is an item that can be used only after a player has completed the dwarven quest series, and requires 70 ranged and 50 strength to wield.

This is the strongest, yet slowest, of all 2-handed ranged weapons, only beating the dark bow by .2 seconds in attack time. It is speculated that the strength requirement is because of it's weight, however, this is unconfirmed.

In order for a player to get their hands on this weapon, they will have had to completThe Giant Dwarf,A Forgettable Tale.., and The Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf. This is because you can only get this weapon from the dwarven engineer Rattik, who will make it for you if you bring him 6 rune bars, 2 crossbow strings, 3 steel bars, and a mithril hammer.
