Even though this question is for a world building deal I'm working on, figured I'd ask it in this section.

Let's say you have an easy functioning, simple repeating crossbow that is becoming popular in various armies, more so than the much slower and unwieldy arquebus. Around this time, armies from OTL were discarding heavy armor for lighter ones due to the arquebus.

If a repeating crossbow becomes popular, would we see heavy armor sticking around?
