Crossbows! (because why not)

A just for fun suggestion for the Daryl/Walking Dead-fan folks out there.
New Weapon Type: Crossbow
New Ammo Type: Arrows (when found, looks like a quiver or bundle of arrows)
Junk Crossbow (looks like it's made of scrounged parts) - low-level scaled range of damage, lower-end reliability (20-25 before breaking), ammo cap: 6-8
Hunting Crossbow (looks like name suggests) - mid-level scaled range of damage, avg-high reliability (35-45 before breaking), ammo cap: 8-12
Heavy Crossbow (big medieval-looking thing) - high-level scaled range of damage, avg-high reliability (35-45 before breaking), ammo cap: 6-8
Arrows would be scrounged in quantities ranging from 1-10 or purchased from Merchants like other ammo.
Attacks:
Club - 1 energy, light damage - close range/melee attack similar to pistol whip, doesn't use ammo
Pierce - 1 energy, light damage - long to mid-ranged attack, uses 1 ammo
Impale - 2 energy, medium damage - mid-ranged attack, uses 1 ammo
Bullseye - 3 energy, high damage - long-ranged attack, uses 1 ammo
Similar to the "holes in the torso" effect from firearms, zombies would get a graphic of an arrow sticking out of their torso when shot.
Epic Weapon versions would be Heavy Crossbow-based with appropriate element detailing. Fire could have a flaming arrow loaded. Frost's arrow could be icicle-like. Electric could be a weird steam-punk looking thing with batteries and sparks. Poison could look a bit beat up, sharp and slime-covered.
