Demon Machine is an exceptional unique Chu-Ko-Nu found in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Demon Machine has a Black tint.

Demon Machine fires level 6 Explosive Bolts on every normal attack, adding 35-48 fire damage in a small area around the point of impact at no mana cost, and it carries 66% Piercing Attack. The two multiply rather than sit side by side. A bolt that pierces explodes again at the next target it hits, so one shot into a packed line detonates about two and a half times on average instead of once, and the blasts overlap on everything standing between them.

The Chu-Ko-Nu is the fastest crossbow class in the game, which turns that into volume, and the +632 to Attack Rating matters more than it looks. Pierce only carries damage forward when the hit check succeeds, so a bolt that misses still travels on and explodes for nothing. The +123% Enhanced Damage and +66 to Maximum Damage are the physical half, and the effect comes from the crossbow rather than a skill tree, so any class holding it gets the same shot.
