But only this feat allows firing two hand crossbows in one turn according to RAW. Unless this feat now means that you can reload on the same turn and fire it twice, which I don’t think it does. I guess you could shoot it, then drop it and pick up a second already pre-loaded crossbow and shoot that? Yes the hand crossbow has both the light property and what's basically the two-handed property. Read the ammunition property, 'you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon'. There is no free hand requirement for reloading. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures
