yes these are no rent, but you can still have fun with them. i got a handful once and gave them to the giants in great divide. they become huge crossbows and yet the giants don't shoot with them. instead they treat it as a blunt 1 hand weapon with a ratio of 30/15. makes them hellish to try and kill. down with dorfs! cheer the giants!
This is more than likely for a quest somewhere. There's a guard in Thurgadin ( Lt. something )in the guardhouse area near the Great Divide zone that talks about crossbows and asks if you favor ranged weapons. Haven't been able to get him to respond past this point.
Dont think this is the item. Why would a coldain want you to kill a coldain to get a crossbow? Good thought though but if its a quest it will be in Kael or from a giant outpost.
I know of the LT. that he speaks of. After asking him the right questions... *someday i'll make a log*, You find out that the quest isn't implemented yet. We'll see if they ever get the quest implemented... or it's part of larger quest, as of yet, unsolved quest.

It means the weapon is usable only by NPCs. It's similar to the sword and shield you can pick up off of dead NPC enchanter pets... the designers can give them any stats they feel like, because players are unable to use them. (Thus the fact that this crossbow's damage is double its delay)
