I think most of these are implemented in some way. Most at least discussed here:

> In the interests of balance and furthering the game, I’ve decided to put together a little thread/poll here about bows and crossbows, specifically looking at their balance. To be clear, I’m the one responsible for most of the recent changes to bows and crossbows, and I fully intend to continue tweaking and expanding them until the heat death of the universe (Or I just get bored of Cataclysm), so useful discussion and voting here will likely have an (eventual) impact on the game itself. A pretty…

-motorized - If Im not mistaken there is a mod that can be attached to existing crossbows that speeds up/removes the strength penalty for reloads. If not its at least been discussed

Double crossbow - DEFIANTLY been discussed, and I …think its been implemented oops VVVV  
Think this one popped up in aforementioned thread… could be wrong, either taken as a thing to do, or the physics say that making the limbs stronger/better/thicker nets better results with lower dispersion than doubling limbs (similar to how jets are going increasingly with larger engines at lower engine numbers these days)

Two-shot Crossbow -DEFIANTLY been discussed, and I …think its been implemented

Rifle crossbow - implemented in a variety of ways. 1.scope mods 2.modern uncraftable variants of all\* weapons exist with higher base stats to anything player can create without mods

Sauterelle - Don’t think this one specifically exists, but pneumatic weapons sort of take this role… though largely slightly more late game… slings and the like for earlier game. I can see this having a nice comfortable niche. sounds like fun
