http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_crossbow

----------------------------------------------------------
My Suggestion (approx. values)
At least three different types/models

Cost: 20k-35k

3-bolt clips
(because currently 12-count steel and 15-count regular are both divisible by 3)

Damage
30-50 cut damage (not pierce)
(keep in mind there is no PD or PT to boost this)

Speed rating (reload)
10-18

Missile speed
40-50

Accuracy
85-90

Weight
4.0-5.0

Slot requirements:
2 slots for the weakest, 3 slots for the strongest. Middle: ???
OR
1 slot: weakest repeater
2 slot: middle repeater
3 slot: strongest repeater

Difficulty requirement(s):
???

I agree, a repeating crossbow (aka. Chu ko nu) sounds fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo13R_fSvnI&feature=related <- shows how they looked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SodhzoAE6XE&feature=related <- shows that they are fairly deadly at short ranges

Since the current balancing factor for crossbows in game is their slow reload speed, perhaps to balance out the relatively fast reload (1 second reload with a longer reload when changing bolt magazines) of a Chu ko nu it should have horrible accuracy at medium-long range AND have a pretty high strength requirement (20 or more even) both to stop any old peasant picking one up and going rambo and also to represent the difficulty of reloading every few seconds. A kind of 'anti' crossbow which instead of the high damage, high accuracy, slow speed of other crossbows can have medium damage, poor accuracy, fast speed.

Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

1) it looks to be extremely weak. Such a winding mechanism does not support high loading of the bow.

2) more flying ammo? Don't we have enough?

That's exactly my thought, too, lol.

While an addition to the Xbow family sounds nice, maybe a 1 handed miniature crossbow, as well? Shorter range, lesser damage, but enables shield and uses the firearms animation.

If you give it the super annoying delay that the arbalest has so that you can't literally machine gun 2h to death, then I support this. Also, it has to take 2 slots if not 3 in order to keep it out of the hands of those no/low wpp shotgunners. Mmm air would kick ass with this thing  :mrgreen:

Air would carry three of them and one stack of bolts  :mrgreen:
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

Well, I already suggested the Speed rating (reload) be 10-18, with 18 being the Arbalest's speed.  I figure the weakest repeater has 18 speed, the strongest has 10.

I did, however, forget to suggest Slot requirements.  Maybe make the strongest repeater take 3 slots, but I seriously recommend at least one be only 2 slots.  I'll go back and edit my post.

Well, in the strict mathematical sense, it would only be +200% :P ( 3 bolts vs 1 bolt loaded )
I also think you're overestimating the strength of a cut projectile without a PD or PT to boost its damage, not to mention the low accuracy recommended)
