Sorry-- that idea was really poorly phrased. I was trying to say that a crossbow's individual parts can be replaced when they break. That way a repairman can simply pop off the damaged part and stick a new one in its place as opposed to a bow, where either the string breaks or the body breaks and you have to trash the part.

You're entirely right about the mechanical complexity of a crossbow: with ease of use comes increased dependancy on specialized repair crews.


Your point on canon has been duly noted! Maybe we should try to shoot for a more "strictly-canon" approach in our spinoffs for old times' sake...
