Crossbow
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Crossbows were primitive weapons used normally by archaic peoples with no blaster technology. They fired small arrow-like projectiles, known as bolts. The crossbow needed to be cranked via a windlass after each shot and had a slow rate of fire, although the hitting power and accuracy of this weapon was not to be underestimated, and many professional assassins included modified versions of these weapons in their arsenal, as they were absolutely silent.
