Skill required for use of a repeating crossbow appears to be “submachineguns”. That doesn’t seem right to me.

Well, it IS automatic…and sort of a rifle, in a roundabout kind of way. Idk, there’s logic to it if you nitpick but it does seem odd.

A repeating crossbow is nothing like a modern submachine gun.

Plus, archery already covers crossbows and bows, which are wildly different in their methods of operation. Having repeating crossbows use archery, especially since if I recall they no longer have burst fire, would be sensible.
