Xbows - Suggestion

[Mordred Wulfchylde]

But just to chime in that crossbows weren't as slow as people think they were historically, but since this fantasy mod I'll leave that matter alone.  :

As western military class crossbows reached thier zenneth the "Albarest"or siege crossbow was drawn by a gear and handle assembly attached to the bowman's belt.The bolt,made of wood with a hardened iron head,would penetrate heavy plate armor far beyond the range of the best bows or guns of the time.
