Second, I actually find the idea of coating the bolts before firing to be interesting. -Cinder had Maiden powers. Basically, she became the Avatar 0.5. Hard to say if it really was Dust, or her elemental powers.

Also, I thought she didn't infuse the arrows but actually made them. Like how she made the glass swords. Which is how she actually desintegrated and remade the arrow in Vol.3 to avoid Pyrrha's shield.

And Nebula was an unimportant, less-than-secondary character. We can't expect them to have impressive weaponry. Just look at Bolin, or Nadir.

-Right right, forgot crossbows used bolts instead of arrows (not much real difference though. It's like comparing swords and katanas IMO). First, I was talking about her old metal arrows which had Dust effects.

Second, it's the only canon crossbow.
