Repeating crossbows are abaolutely a thing though. There’s examples from ancient China. That being said, they tend to suck because they’re really low powered to make them easy to shoot rapid-fire

more like it attaches the quiver to the side of the longbow as a magazine to make the bow repeating. he did make one for the crossbow that is a more weildy though
