I cannot write an accurate overview based on this context, as it contains only an image caption with no descriptive information about what a crossbow is or why it matters. To provide a reliable overview, I would need actual text content describing the crossbow.

A crossbow is a ranged weapon using an elastic launching device consisting of a bow-like assembly called a prod, mounted horizontally on a main frame called a tiller, which is hand-held in a similar fashion to the stock of a long gun. Crossbows shoot arrow-like projectiles called bolts or quarrels. A person who shoots crossbow is called a crossbowman, an arbalister or an arbalist (after the arbalest, a European crossbow variant used during the 12th century).
