While that is reasonable that they would be slower, it doesn't realistically reflect how much time it takes to stick your foot in the crossbow stirrup and load a crossbow bolt - or using the windlass crank method. Because of the time required to load this weapon you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make." The problems are the damage (or lack thereof) and the "Loading". However the stats for Light Crossbow and Heavy Crossbow are woefully wrong. The stats for the Hand Crossbow are reasonably accurate, they are fairly quick to reload.
Ammunition (range 100/400), heavy, loading, two-handed. Ammunition (range 80/320), loading, two-handed.ĥ0 gp - 1d10 piercing - 18 lbs.
Ammunition (range 25/100), light, loading.Ģ5 gp - 1d8 piercing - 5 lbs. (Don't even get me started with Daryl's use of the crossbow in The Walking Dead.)ħ5 gp - 1d6 piercing - 3 lbs.

I am not alone in this either, crossbowmen around the world look at dismay in the way crossbows are being shown in D&D, movies, TV shows, and poorly researched fiction. My reasoning is because the rules don't reflect the time required to reload a crossbow, the sheer damage a crossbow does, their range, their ease of use, or their penetrating power. As someone who has 3 crossbows (and 27 other bows - and I also makes bows and crossbows) I am ever appalled by the rules for crossbows and archery in 5th Edition D&D - and other editions for that matter.
