They are favored by drow as a means of delivering poisons. You can draw back the action of a hand crossbow by hand. You can shoot, but not load, a hand crossbow with one hand at no penalty. You can shoot a hand crossbow with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons.
