That reminds me of a brilliant piece of writing in 'The Detectorists' (a TV series about people who try to find ancient treasure with metal detectors). I extemporise the coversation:

'I've got something. It's a medal, I think. Looks old'.

'Let's see'.

'No. Hang on. There's an inscription. It's in Latin'.

'Latin? Wow. What does it say?'

'Status Quo. Bugger'.

Wasn't the big problem with the crossbow (as opposed to the longbow), the drawback and reload time? Didn't stop the Normans though.
