Let's say that, instead of the traditional Medieval crossbow being introduced into armies, the Asian repeating crossbow is instead developed around the same time as the introduction of the crossbow into medieval warfare, and is instead introduced instead. The weapon only has half the effective range of a crossbow, but this is counterbalanced by being able to fire 10 bolts in 15 seconds, and being easier to reload.
My question is how does the use of a repeating crossbow change medieval warfare?
