Lubing the rail’s important, gotta do it every few shots to keep it smooth. Makes a big diff.

Not dumb at all! The rail is part of the crossbow where the arrow slides when shot. Keeping it lubed up is key for a smooth shot.

However, I think you’ve overlooked the historical significance of repeating crossbows, especially in ancient warfare. They had tactical uses beyond what’s mentioned.
