Could be a warhammer.  At least an artifact crossbow gets the great accuracy bonus of an artifact!

Your sheriff or CoG will only use the crossbow like a club, while shooting enemies. So if you have 9 of those, then you can have a 9 man squad :P

You can still use a crossbow as a club(I feel this is very dwarfy).

I do hope it wasn't a possession. I don't even care about artifact usefulness if I get a fey/secretive mood.

And then, once you figure "HFS, it can't get worse" you get an cotton candy barrel. I wonder if the booze tastes any better from it >_>

Candy barrels just sound ubiquitously awesome.

Two adamantine maces.
And goblin bone hammer, that proved to be more dangerous than adamantine fly swatters - guard made a fatal headstrike with it.

Speaking of, no matter the usefulness of an artifact I've NEVER had a non-possession on any of my blacksmiths, meaning I have a whole lot of -Bronze Greaves- armoring my dwarves.

FOOL! YOU HAVE REVEALED THE HFS TO ANYONE WHO HASNT REACHED IT YET!

Also, I punish my artifact makers if they disapoint me (read: at my leisure) by burning their creations in magma. Or erasing them from existence.

Candy barrels? If only we had booze made from candy and drunk it in mugs of candy, things would be dandy.
