What was special about the crossbow?

That it’s a crossbow designed by a government in possession of nuclear weapons and the capacity to make and use more. Which is just kinda strange ya know

Maybe it was actually just an ordinary crossbow, but was shown here to make the KGB think it was special and waste resources trying to figure it out!
