The rate column in the following table shows the relative rate of fire. E.g. to cock a bow with a ``rate of fire'' of 1/2, you need only half the time of what is needed with a bow with a ``rate of fire'' of 1/1.
The damage done by the impact of a bolt fired from a crossbow is constant. However, with an ordinary bow you can pull the arrow further back if you are strong, and it would thus do more damage.
