Crossbows were known for their relatively high stopping power because they were powered by a loaded spring rather than the furthest tension of the bow. Added to that a standard crossbow had a larger bolt than a bow could have an arrow, making it hit heavier as well as harder. This isn't the case with the Attica because it's a repeater and so can fire in a clip at the expense of stopping power.
