Why only fire the crossbow once? We’ve seen plenty of crossbows in use.
But if you mean why not off-hand a crossbow – one-handed crossbows are not that good in terms of range or velocity.
This might be a strange question (sorry), but i’ve always wondered why I never see depictions of people using crossbows like one-shot pistols in small-scale conflicts, firing them to thin the ranks/take out an enemy before discarding them for melee combat, or just to hold people up ala Anguy with Arya, Gendry, and Hot Pie. Is this not viable?
